Default could this be another scam?

found a very rare exhaust on ebay called Phoenix Power / Garage Fukui Departure III Dual Exhaust. can't post ebay link here but if you go to ebay and type in phoenix power it will come up. seems like the seller is the same seller that was selling his sc300 with the funky looking interior. same person that was scamming people here on cl.

I don't know about for SC's, but the Garage Fukui exhaust for MR2's command a huuuuge price on the used market.

IMO, for a transaction for this amount of money with no paypal, I personally wouldn't do it, but if its legit its a good deal. Just be careful dude!

you are 100% correct even greddy power extreme, both for the mr2's $$$. I tried getting the Phnx pwr for my MR2 but way to pricey for used.
Now the "scammer" has more info. Lol

it doesn't have to be a scam if you go there in person, with a few bejamins in hand, and take the exhaust right then and there.

ITS IFFY i contacted the seller and even went to the address which is a PO BOX at UPS which is the address stated for that guys site. They claimed to have moved to japan and have rented their warehouse here, Payment due first via CC, and 24 hours later they will arrange pickup for the parts in rowland heights.. very fishy unfortunately.

Default Definately a scam.

Sounds like another one of roo's master plan to make some cash. No paypal and a P.O box number instead of a adress sounds like scam to me.
