A Really Unhappy "Ferrari" Owner

[red_MM_nsx]

Someone is bidding $1,000,100 for a Ferrari .................. bicycle. This is clearly a mistaken bid. I would assume there is some mechanism for retracting the bid. I would hate to think they would be obligated for this.

It wouldn't surprise me if that was a legit bid.
BTW, you can retract a bid.

Wierd......check on the seller's other items for sale, and you'll find a very strange series of mountain bikes for sale. There's a Cannondale with 4 bids at almost $15,000.00, and then there's other very nice bikes with 3 bids at 50 cents. WTF?

The Colnago bike, by the way, is a licensed Ferarri product bearing the Ferarri emblem. They are VERY Nice bikes, but obviously not worth over a million. I'd expect to see it fetch around $5,000 if it's used.

I bet we all smell a scam.

The seller is registered 2/15/04, based in South Korea, and has sold mostly $50 dollar items.

I wonder who's getting scammed - the seller or the buyer?

Maybe his buddies are toying with him.

Maybe it is in Lire

Live mid-market rates as of 2004.03.14 23:01:57 GMT.
Italy Lire 3,000,100.00 ITL
United States Dollars = 1,891.71559 USD
1 ITL = 0.000630551 USD 1 USD = 1,585.91 ITL

Lire is no longer legal tender.

1800 seems fair for the bike.

Seems like scams are happening more and more.

It's probably people just screwing around. I scam over one million dollars would rasie more than few eyebrows.
