"If it looks to good to be true...."
Hmmm, The seller is from Chicago, but currently in London, but lists Virginia as the location. And I could swear I've seen that pic elsewhere.
A member for 2 days, and claims to be a Square Trade member, but doesn't post the Square Trade member seal??

Good call Joey

You've seen the picture before because it's been list 2 other times.  
The first time I saw it it was in NC the second in Virginia.  This is the third time.  

Only reason I remeber it is the brown garage door in the back ground and the really bad paint job.  I tried to use the completed items search but it was too long ago.

This is so obviously a scam.

They appear all the time in the jukebox world on Ebay UK. The poor English, no paypal, Western Union, no pick etc gives it away everytime. Sometimes is possible to have a bit of fun with them. I asked once whether a particular Jukebox had coffee making facilites attached to the side and the reply was that it did and was in full working order.

Some poor sod somewhere must get done for it to be worth their while.Even when reported to Ebay it can take days for it to be removed.

Maybe we should bid it up to $1,000,000 and stick him with the fees. I also asked him if this model had the upgraded back door to keep the cats from getting caught on the inside because of the humming noise. Can't wait to see what he says. Also I hope one of you have notified the people bidding on it.

I emailed and asked some dumb questions like is it the model that has the upgrade kit to allow the easy hookup of a water fountain and he replied with the exact same email as posted above. Oh well
