Looks like the penny is starting to drop. Three bidders have retracted their bids. Bid price is now down to $3050......

For those like Hymee who missed it, the seller was selling a 2004 Winning Blue Leather Pack RX-8 for $8200.....Vic rego ZOOM 8.

I suspect it's the dealer demo at Max Kirwan Mazda in Preston....beware of cheap RX-8's on E-bay.

That was great

An excellent follow-on to one a couple of years ago, where a Nigerian scammer was scammed.

Which reminds me. The original urban myth was a E type Jag advertised for £500 or something, which was supposedly genuine and the revenge of a cuckolded wife. Or was it??
