Remember that guy that was arrested about a year ago for porn charges or something like that? I think it was in Atlanta. The photos were posted here. It was a silver one. Could be his.

yep, very strange. it's pretty clear to me that it's not the US govt auctioning off this vehicle, or at least the poster is not a representitive of the USDOT (and he has 0 feedback). I think it's some guy who is planning on attending the auction and hoping to make some $$$ representing some people, but he has no stake in anything. You don't even get pictures of the car until you've won on ebay.

Nashville????? I work in Nashville, IN. That is REALLY ODD. There's only about 1,000 people here. It's a pretty tight knit community around here, but I'm new. I'll check with my employees to see if they know of him. Updates soon........

Interesting username of "The Jesuit" for a DOT auctioneer...sounds fishy to me. I like how I'll "be praying" my bid is high enough.
He's only offering to represent you at the treasury auction with your bid. It's a scam.
Your bid is what he bids at the treasury auction. If you bid too high you win the car and he keeps the difference. If you bid too low, you lose at the treasury auction, but you still owe this clown your winning ebay bid. Your other option is to increase your low bid up to a point where you win the treasury auction, but he will charge you 2% of the increase. Nothing to stop him from having a shill bid against you at the treasury until his 2% is a sufficiently large amount. When you're at $40k you're more likely to keep increasing your bid rather than walk away with a big loss and no car.

People will stop at nothing to rip someone off! These assholes must just sit around and think of ways to screw people.
