Questionable Scam

This is a zero feedback seller who made up the details regarding this canoe. Notice that all the bidders have zero feedback too. I requested the serial number-- doubt if I will hear anything.

The seller responded to my request for a serial number saying "i did find 2 numbers on it. the first number was on the floor beam in the front: 240944 17. the second number was found in the back on the outside under the rail: xtc40944m83h." I told him that this is probably a 17 foot long Old Town Molitor model with serial number 240944 that shipped in March, 1983. The bidding pattern does look very suspicious.

So, the seller's Great Grandpa bought it way back in '83...

I caught that "great-grandpa" thing right away. Just sounded like a "line". Also the zero feedback......but everybody has to start sometime..
Good luck, Peter!
