Mike you get feed back even when you buy stuff, so it shows she has bought 55 items and has never had a prob....hence the 100% rateing.
Doesnt mean shes not going for the big kill on this item....
JUst sent her an email asking wheres warra and is it ok to pay COD if i were the winner....

Also have a good look at the last 3 pics, theres been some photoshopping done and someone could do a rego check on the trailer???

These types of scams are called "ghosting". They find an inactive and legitimate eBay account and use that. The feedback and comments will be real from the original person that set it up and used it. The key here is to look at when the last feedback was made. Most times it is several years ago, at miniumum the accounts are usually inactive for a period of at elast 12 months.

I have been seeing these types of "GHOSTING" scams come mainly out of China and Indonesia, so it will be a different story to teh oil rig scenario (Nigerian / African Scammers).

FYI - This particular scam is very popular with high end fihsing gear Shimao Stella, Daiwa Saltiga etc. It is also very popular for high end road bike (bicycle) parts also.
