does this ebay listing seem fishy? 24"rims n tires for $999/shipped? the seller has excellent feedback and is a powerseller..but it seems to good to be true..i saw these exact rims/tires/pic posted last week on another auction.
there have been instances where hackers jack someones account and list items like this, take your money, then disappear b4 the owner of the account notices..

Although he has a good rating, something does look fishy. He says contact him first before you bid, NO PAYPAY, and although the "buy now" price is $999 he can go to $750 Went through some of his history, but couldn't find any prior wheel sales. I would say buyer beware.

yes indeedy..he even has 26" rims/tires for $999...YEAH RIGHT!!!!!

IMPOSSILBLE!!! Don't even bother!! I saw on ebay 24" DUB condos for 3,180 US with 275 25 24 Pirelli tires!!

its bogus, i tried to look up the city in Idaho and could not find it. when they dont accept or use paypal beware!!!!!!!!!!!!! paypal is your only protection if the deal goes sour.

Run Away, even if he took paypal it can't help if he cleans out his paypal account, I got burned that way, only $20. The "paypal protection" is only if someone is legit and they have money in the paypal account that can be retrieved by paypal. A lenghty investigation process begins and paypal notifies the seller, if any real money is involved, the seller empties the paypal account long before any resolution occurs. No money in the account means Paypal can not do a thing for you other than send you an apologetic letter describing their efforts. Anyhoo, these wheels are a fraud.

Yep-
I saw this listing last night and considered posting it here, but it sounded like a bad listing.
I have seen a number of wheels listed on eBay then pulled for unknown reasons.
This guy does have a number of listings for wheels, and a good rating, however...
Bad indicators:
1)- WAY too low a price
2)- Only a 2-day listing. This often happens when the seller wants the sale to go down before eBay Admin's shut them down or pull the listing/
3)- PayPal not accepted.
4)- Idaho address. Too many rednecks there to have 24" wheels on a charger.. (j/k)

Coure d'Alene is a legit place in Idaho, about 20 miles east of Spokane. We stayed there at the lake a couple of times.

If there was more time on the listing, someone nearby should ask the seller to see the wheels in person. I have freinds in Spokane that I could ask to visit the guy if there was enough interest & time, and the guy allowed it (of course if he didn't, that would be a REALLY bad indicator).

yep, just as i thought..ebay caught on and ended the listing.
