Fare enough... but they should update their listing to comment on the issue IMO.
Clone car for the registry?

I added a post about the missing VIN on BaT, maybe they will see it.

The phantom bidder is back
The previous eBay :evil: phantom bidder is back at work again if you look at the bidding history patterns. This is a typical pump and dump by the seller and this :evil: phantom bidder.
You can also see that they both turned their trick on the Ferrari : 430 Spider Convertible 2-Door this same seller recently sold. The :evil: phantom bidder pumped it and the seller dumped it on some poor soul who took the bait.
The :evil: phantom bidder has 76 feedbacks on both but never buys...go figure...

Good find, Sherlock. I was poking around that seller looking for something like this. There oughta be a law!
somebody ought to turn in the seller and the fake bidder to ebay
The phantom bidder also spends an inordinate amount of time bidding on auctions from only 2 sellers. As of now, s/he is bidding on 17 auctions from only 2 sellers... coincidence?
not only that, but there is another bidder that is doing EXACTLY the same thing.

Former owner posted on BaT
Here is a cut and paste from the former owner of this e9 on BaT.
Durpilt
It’s my old car…..I bought it from the second owner. The current owner is only responsible for the updated wheels and some interior treatments it seems. The car had a clear Florida title for my 8 years of ownership and only after the current owner used the vin on the title at a BMW dealership which ultimately lead to the vin being questioned. The vin for the car (from what I understand) is now an issue due to the inquiries from potential buyers with questions that are finding me. I would guess that it has had a donor car title at this point. The only vin the car had when I owned it was a stamped plate on the steering column….it matched/matches the title as I drove it for 8 years with no issues. Not long after I sold it to the current owner I was accused of selling an illegitimate car….since then I ceased all contact and protected myself. I traded the car for his ’83 Alpina b9 in 2009.
