Scam warning!

<SCAM>This Ottrott is listed with a no reserve auction by a seller that is very newly registered and has zero feedback: http://cgi.ebay.com/Serotta-Road-Bik...QQcmdZViewItem

<REAL>The actual bike was sold on eBay three weeks ago by a reputable seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...7302&rd=1&rd=1

Way to go Dave! Always good to check "Completed listings" when these guys have zero or low feedback on high priced items. Ebay lets to many of these scammers slip by.

You are correct. I bought this nice ottrott a few weeks ago and just saw this as well. Problem is ebay does not give a rats *ss about this and provides no avenue of reporting it.......too bad for the unsuspecting buyer. Ebay is only interested in profits and not getting rid of crooks....it would be easy to do.
