There is a nearly new BX-23, plus trailer, plus attachments for $2000 on ebay. Item 7503091467. Looks and smells like a scam or its stolen. He won't even give his location. Why do people do people do these things?

Why??? Because they can. There are so many people out there that try to make a quick buck. "If it is too good to be true...it probably is" is a good rule of thumb for ebay. Check feedback...if there isn't any, avoid completely. If there is, make sure to check out if they were the buyer or seller on these items. Also check out the items...a few pieces of junk does not mean it is a trustworthy seller. Ebay is great about 95% of the time. ....

I'd be more worried if the buy-it-now price was $2k. Maybe he figures everyone will bid on it and he can afford to start low?
Not sure why he doesn't list details like his location, shipping cost, payment options, or tractor s/n in ad. Maybe he's an honest guy who is clueless about ebay?
Me personally, I would never bid on it. Looks too fishy to me.

Fishy? Just because it is valued about $16K under it's real value?
Ha! ....

I find it interesting that the buyer registered as a Canadian, but didn't put in a City, then states that the tractor is located in the US, but again didn't say where.
The other strange thing is that the seller describes the tires as 'bar' but the photo shows turfs on it ...
Maybe I should inquire about it ....
Best of luck. ....

I do a lot of stuf on ebay and the fishy ones that are scams are the ones that say "pre-approved" bidders only or don't use the ebay link , it's not working send all email to this email address with a weird address. They will ask you to wire funds. These are all scams. They bootleg some dumma%%'s account because he was stupid enough to send his password to a bogus email and then they get you. They actually take the pics from an old listing. They are easy to spot because most of them are from another country and write in broken english.
Anyne who is dumb enough to buy a machine on ebay and pay all or part of it without seeing it first is a dope and deserves to be scammed. I NEVER require a deposit or payment. They come get it, feel it was described properly , hand me the $$ for it and they take it home. DO NOT buy from anyone who wants money up front or you will loose hard earned cash! ....
