I responded to an eBay ad for a 1998 Rialta RV, asking where it was located.
I got a response saying it was in a garage in Seattle (125 miles from me).
It was odd that the email came to me personal email address, not from an eBay response.
I was told the RV was in excellent condition, he sent many pictures.
He also said he wanted $13,000, which seemed odd as well. These go for more like $18-20K in that shape.
I asked for the VIN# and to see it.
He responded by saying he wants to use Escrow.com and that he is out of the country and cannot show it to me.
It was then that I decided to check him out a little and googled his email address and found this site.
Seems $13,000 selling price is one he/she likes.
I have emailed him back asking that he have a friend or neighbour show me the RV next week when I am in Seattle on business.
Certainly seems like a scam given what is being reported here.

Here's a note I got on may 23, 2013 regarding an RV for sale on ebay (that ended):
Hi there,
The RV has absolutely no mechanical problem, the exterior has no scratches, rust or dents and the interior is like new, no accidents.
I have a clear title for it.
The RV belonged to my father and he died 3 months ago, I'm trying to sell it for $13,000 because I don't need it.
The shipping and handling will be included in the price.
The transaction will be done trough Amazon Payments(www.amazon-payments.org), this is the safest way for us both.
Let me know if you are still interested I will explain you everything.
Thank You!
