You all missed out. I did the deal at 4,000 GBP and have sent money to his account. My condition being it was removed from sale.

Just waiting for him to arrange shipping now.

Did you not have to send more money so he can refund you as the shipper will not take his money?

The north star rib is not a scam. I know the owner and I've been on the rib a few times. It's genuinely for sale, and anyone who gets it is getting a great rib

The listing has been removed, so when you click on the first link you now get the real listing!
The first was a big fat scam!

He did repy:


Hi there,

First I want to thank you for your question. The item is in perfect condition, with no scratches on it, no damage. Hasn't been involved in any accident. All the necessary papers will be provided.

The total price is £4,000 including the shipping to your address. Price reduced for quick sale.

Currently i am located in Northern part of United Kingdom, in a beautiful sea-side city called Thurso, because i just finished the divorce with my wife and i have moved here to my parents home. The payment will be made through eBay and only after you will receive the item, i will receive the payment.

It will take around 3-5 working days until you will receive the item and you will have a 3 days inspection period (so you have 3 days to change your mind and refuse or keep it). Also, I need to know if you have cash in hand because I have a lot buyers interested in the purchase and I don't have time to waste. No offense but if you really want to buy it I will stop communicating with the other interested buyers.

If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so i can initiate the deal through eBay. You must know that eBay will contact you without any obligation to buy it or fees.

I will wait your answer (if you are interested to buy) very soon.

Regards
Adam

Hi,

I am very interested in your super Rib. It looks great and looks just like the one my friend owns.

Please do not let anyone else buy it as I want it.

How can I secure the deal?

Look forward to hearing from you soon

Kind regards

Robin Fauca
