Too bad its a private auction, cant warn the bidders.
the guy has zero feedback too.
I hate scammers.

[CompuFoil]

What's the scam? Does he take the money and run?

[bullaculla]

I guess, DJ sold this Joker long ago. Somebody took his pictures and relisted it on ebay before. It is now happening again.

And here is the original thread when DJ sold it over a year ago.

if you know for sure that it's a scam, (that it isn't the person who purchased the helicopter a year ago) then you can report the item as fraud. There is a link at the bottom of the auction page that says "report item".

[j_kookboy]

This same ebay scam ad has been on/off since early last year.

I can't believe the guy still does it.

I think many have reported him already.

[PilotSmith]

Once the auction is over you can see who the high bidder is and contact them to beware of the scam.

[j_kookboy]

Bidding is going up... :)

[bullaculla]

There is a thread on RR. DJ said he bid some outrageous amount so nobody would win it.
and if he does win, he can take it up with the scammer personally. DJ is cool :cool:

Dang, 52 big ones. Too rich for my blood!

[PilotSmith]

It is getting too rich for my blood. I was just outbid!

You've just been outbid. Do you want to bid again?

Current bid: http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/s.gif US $90,500,100.00 http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/s.gif
Your maximum bid: http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/s.gif US $90,500,000.00

Hahaha....

That's Awesome! I can't wait till they try and take 3% of $95,000,000 out of his paypal account!

Looks like he cancelled all the big bids. Currently the high bid (of 2 bids) is $1.29. We need some more high bidding.

I recommend we all contact ebay and report that as a scam. Last time they pulled the auction when we did that. I just now reported it.

[PilotSmith]

Will do same now. Do you think if we spent less time at HeliFreak we'd sleep like normal people?

[PilotSmith]

He has us all listed as "scammers"... :rolling

I'm sure john_f_kerry could have afforded his $90,500,000 bid.

ruh oh, used my wife's ebay account. new bid is 50k.
time for round two. :)

[PilotSmith]

Keep up the good work. :Owned

I asked the clown a couple days back if he had any other photos of the heli and I never got any reply. I wonder why there is no shipping information on that auction? Maybe because there are no plans to ever ship it? :BSS

[bladebreaker]

That's funny,
My $99,999,999 bid was cancelled because I am a "Scammer".

Who's scamming who?

" I wonder why there is no shipping information on that auction? Maybe because there are no plans to ever ship it?"

I should get free shipping for $99,999,999.00!!!

Tip

[PilotSmith]

I have his email address now. He won't allow a local pick up. For $80,000,000 you'd think he'd let you pick it up. :confused: What's up with that?!

[PilotSmith]

He canceled the auction. Looks like the good guys won this time and we didn't even need to send Spork over to stare him down. Like it says in my signature line....

[Randallhurd]

This thread had me laughing on the Floor............:rolling
That's some seriously funny stuff.
Kinda too the edge off the Pay Pal screwing I got last year...
