This is in Seattle Craigslist and looked on the up n up. Would be my guess they post remotely to different cities to look for suckers. Could be legit??

Hi, the quad is still available, destination charges are included in the final price. the price for my quad is $3500 as you've probably already seen on my CL ad, I decided to lower the price, to avoid wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer as soon as possible. few words about the quad: is in great shape, no need for additional repairs what so ever, no engine problems, oil changed properly. I have a clear title for it. I will only conclude the transaction through ebay for our own protection. they act as a neutral third party. If you are interested please get back to me and I shall explain to you the process.thanks. Dianna




(Yes i am interested. Please let me know what the process is. Thanks.)

Hi, here is a detailed description of the ebay vehicle purchase protection:

regarding the payment, you will be instructed to deposit the money to an ebay account. they will hold and insure your money until receipt of the quad in good condition. that is how their buyer protection policy works. as far as the seller concerns, I will be glad to know that ebay has the possession of the money during the delivery period. that is my insurance. as soon as I will have the confirmation from ebay that the funds have been deposited into their account, I will immediately start the shipping process.
The quad will be delivered to your address by DAS in no more than 5 working days. you will be given a 5 days inspection period from the day you receive the quad at home. if you decide to hold the quad, then you will have to authorize ebay to release the funds to me, and the transaction will be completed.
If you will not be satisfied with the quad, you will be able to send the quad back through the same shipping company, and ask ebay to return the funds to you. though I am sure you will love the quad and will not want to return it, it is good to know that you do have this second option available.

If you wish to proceed with the purchase, provide me your full name and address to calculate shipping fees and initiate the deal through ebay right away.

Scam for days...

I've sold a couple vehicles on eba - that escrow process almost NEVER happens, especially not for $3500.
