55oo.oo for an htm cat??????? I Inquired and heres the email i got , then I email another question from a diffrent emaill account and his response was boat was in a ca warehouse, cant even keep his story straight LOL
Dear Sir ,

I want to be honest with you and I inform you that i have 2 buyers interested in
this boat, they are willing to pay the buy it now price .To be fair with all
possible buyers I will sell the boat to the first buyer that will arange the
Square Trade first payment . If you are able to make the first payment today or
tomorrow you will be the next owner of this boat.
First I will like to tell you that I am in United Kingdom and the boat is
stored at ebay warehouse in NY, the machine will be shipped from there on my
expence.
The boat is like new , in perfect condition . I am selling this boat because the
shipping to Europe will cost me to much.I have this boat from my father in law
.The Buy it now price is $5,500 . I will sell the unit to the first one that
makes a 2,800 $ deposit through Square Trade .

Terms & Conditions Shipping and handling:
The shipping address must be provided before sending the payment. The boat will
be shipped through JC MOTORS or DAS Shipping Company . The boat will only be
sent after receiving the payment. I agreed with eBay Square Trade to send my
boat to its warehouse since I am not in US .
This way, both sides (seller and buyer) are insured by eBay.

Payment:
If you will offer the buy it now price I will suport all the shipping from the
warehouse to your address .
For the payment i would like to use eBay Square Trade as a third party . They
will keep your money until you get the boat and will release it to me upon
delivery .
Here are my name and address you need for the payment in case you decide to buy
the boat.

The boat is ready for shipment, i just need the payment confirmation from Square
Trade with the transfer's details and the boat will be delivered to your
address.
REFUND-After the boat arrives, you have a 7 days period for inspection. If the
boat is different than the way i've described it, 100% refund - transfer fees
and the boat will be shipped back to the warehouse on my expence. Anyway, i
don't think it will be necesary, you'll love this boat from very first moment
you'll see it.
Buy with confidence!
I will have pay for an insurance to eBay Square Trade as proof my
trustworthiness.
Thanks for the conceded time .
I am looking forward to your reply.
