Since when???
Also I suspect the Rangie never existed, probably a copied picture from another site, or one he'd taken down the local garage.

Sounds like some poor soul got caught by a fake email from Ebay, it happened to a relative of mine, she ended up over $1,000 down:(

Seems like a standard e-bay scam now we sit back and look at it.
Here are the clues:
1) Pricey item going cheap.
2) One day auction.
3) "Do not use ask seller a question e-mail" (or it will alert the real owner of the e-bay account that all is not well).
4) Paypal to another e-mail address.
The e-mail about moving to Hungary just confirms it all.
Moral- look after your e-bay account details or some lowlife will use your account to commit fraud.
We live and learn!

It's actually in reverse as the scammer is one supposdley making the payment, but it's a good read.
