Default Explanation from an E Bay scammer
I queried a guy who "advertised" an XA GT for buy it now price of $10,200. And this is the reply I got:

why are you so angry about it ... ???
YOU COME AND TRY TO MAKE YOUR LIFE DOWN HERE AND AFTER THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT.
YOU HAVE A NICE JOB YOU HAVE A HOUSE AND I WISH YOU HAVE MORE THEN THAT ... I WISH YOU HAVE A NICE FAMILY AND TO BE HAPPY AND TO HAVE ALOT OF MONEY.
I DON'T DO THIS FOR PLEASURE .. I HAVE NO MONEY NO JOB NO NOTHING ... IF I CHOOSE TO WORK I DON'T HAVE WHERE TO WORK.
UNDERSTAND ..

Sounds like a disgruntled migrant.

What does that reply have to do with a GT?

Coz he's selling it so cheaply, I suppose. Desperate for money.

Still a pretty full-on response from a stranger tho!

There is no GT for sale, it's a SCAM. One of those pay me a deposit and I will ship it to you for inspection. This time is supossedly in NZ. In every case the low buy it now price is the give away. I like emailing them just to mess them around a bit.

The full on response is an indication that they want sympathy and this outburst is mean to symbolise them losing their tether and losing hope. You're supposed to be gullible, have your heart melt and feel sorry for him.

Just slowly walk away and continue to warn others.

Poo in an Express Postpak and send it to him. It will remind him of what he produces an excess of.

WTF ?

I'm scamming you and stealing your money because I'm poor ?

He needs to HAGLHLAHS, and find an honest way of making a living like the rest of us.

All scammers are the same....total lowlifes. Their tactics and excuses are the same too; "send me a fee first" and "I'm poor" (which they're not, just greedy). These have been going on for so long that I don't know how there're still pepople falling sucker to these.

Since when was poverty an acceptable reason to commit fraud?

I'd probably let my XB GT go for $10K. I don't have time to restore or drive it so it'll probably sit in a shed for the next decade at least.

I looked at the other thread...
That guy who sent 8k to this guy...he must be completely smegged off.
Ebay should send a SWAT team (or equivalent) to his house and arrest him for fraud, and possibly for being a big ***** too. And while we're at it, he's part of Al-Qaeda and had sexual relations with Saddam Hussein. Yes...that will do.

People like ths should have their pants pulled down and their bot bots spanked until they are red.

I can't believe how people can be so insensitive to poor old Saddam (RIP). He was the only party in the whole Iraq episode that was actaully telling the truth. He said he didn't have WMD's and he didn't! He might have committed a bit of genocide here and there but it was the only way he could keep order. Look at the mess the country is in now. I wouldn't have trusted him enough to send him money for a GT but the AWB might have.
