    Default Chinese spyders

    Let me start by saying that I am a happy spyder owner, 2012 white LTD. I could do with some more spare time to enjoy the spyder more but that's the way it is..
    browsing through ebay, I came across the following:
    http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/...T_LIMITED.html
    Not that I am planning to buy one but has anybody had any experience with this or is it all a scam?

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Total SCAM!!! You will be asked to forward funds via Western Union,while awaiting a "private" carrier to be in touch to deliver your purchase.The Mutts are doing this in reverse on Kajiji and other for sale sights.I wonder if it's the same dudes that are awaiting my bank info so that a Nigerian millionaire can pop a couple of mill into it because I'm such a nice guy!!

    No doubt in my mind it is a scam. If it seems to good to be true then it is most likely a scam.

    90 percent off, based in Germany and payment by western union...what would ever make you guys think this is a scam? You're just being cynical. Probably just some hard working folks working on a tight margin.

    Even when you click on "suspicious activity" it takes you to their link. As blatant scam as I have seen in quite some time.

    I think this is what the lady at the local UPS terminal ordered, said it wasn't due to arrive until Sept.
    It didn't sound right when she was telling me about it....hope she didn't put any money down!

    I'll check with her later in the year and see how she made out.

    That's too bad; I was going to see if they'd cash my winning check from the Nigerian lottery for me. They could send me two of those Limiteds and I'd let them keep 10% of the change for processing it for me. (The could send the excess funds in butterlies...)

    HEY! They told me I won that Nigerian lottery.....and all I had to do is wire them a couple grand to cover the cost of shipping that big box of money!

    Actually thought it would have gotten here by now.........Hmmm, you don't think.....
