The price i want for this stunning boat is twenty thousand dollars.
hmm.. doesn't sound right. probably a scam according to his feedback he hasn't sold anything, just bought cheap stuff to get his feedback up.

Seems odd that he/she has only sold small inexpensive items and now this. Sounds like someones ebay account has been scammed

Sounds a little weird to have the bidding starting at $1,200.00 and doest list the drives or any other detailed info!:idea:

also when you see this phrase "Please email me before placing any bids." then its a scam.

"The price i want for this stunning boat is twenty thousand dollars. For a very fast reply please email me directly at junelaineg@yahoo.com. Please email me before placing any bids. "
That should give it away right there! Engines and drives cost more than that!

After that email the follow up if at all will be you can have it for 2004 but it comes with no title and it might be a little warm to the touch...

Ok, sounds like a divorce and wifey is trying to sell his boat out from under him. That was my first thought anyway.

What the ad probably doesnt include is that once you email them for the rest of the info, you find that there is also a small monthly payment that you get to have.:D

Hello Brandon and thank you for your interest for my boat 2003 Eliminator Daytona 28 feet 496 HO with trailer
First of all you should know that the boat is in excellent condition, mechanically and aesthetically intact, it's US model with US specs and it has less than 120 hours on it. For most of his life was keep on trailer in hangar in controled ambient.
The exterior is in excelent condition, the overall interior is pristine throughout, no rips, tears, burns, stains or worn spots anywhere, with normal wear.
Although my eBay account was initiated in United States, I'm relocated in Netherlands with my new job and I'm willing to ship the boat from here through Sea Cargo in container insured and cover the shipping and insurance fees to your location in US. The total price for boat and trailer is $20,000 USD with shipping included front to your door in about two weeks. The price is low because I don`t have a large hangar to keep it in good conditions and not enough time to use it, so I thought selling this boat through eBay would be a good idea giving the fact that I need some fast cash for buying a new car here.
I would like our deal to be supervised by eBay Motors. In case we have a deal I will notify eBay Motors Transactions department so they can inform you about my reliability and how we can proceed with this transaction in a 100% safe way.
So if you are ready to proceed just let me know your full name and address and I will notify eBay Motors so we can both get detailed information regarding proper payment, shipping and insurance to be used for this international deal.
Please let me know your position as soon as possible,
Nathan

Sounds to me like one of those advance-fee scams. (Here's a website by a guy who likes to screw with the scammers: http://www.419eater.com/ ) I'm surprised he says he is in the Netherlands, instead of Nigeria. Don't give him any personal or banking info.
