Go look at ad Listing # 162793 this was got to be a scam plus there is another trailer that looks like a scam. They need to put alert buttons on this ads so we can get them marked quicker.

Wow, it seems the scammers are really busy lately. There must be at least two or three every week this month. Ya think since they know this site they would figure out we keep booting 'em off.. :P

How does the scam work? We were able to contact the person via email and they seem legitimate. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

A $50,000.00 trailer for less than 10K, what seems legitimate about that? Were you able to contact them by telephone?

For kicks, I emailed the poster about the trailer. Here's what I received:
"The trailer looks and works perfect and I must tell you that this is a regretful sale but I have some problems with my family and it must go now.
Here are the options and accessories :
Living Quarters changed to 8 Foot Ceilings,
Trailer width expanded to 8 Feet,
12 foot living quarters.
Onan 4.0 Gasoline quiet generator,
Single Leg Power Hydraulic Jack,
Carbon Monoxide,
LP gas and Smoke Detector,
Porcelin Toilet,
New Angle Full Size Shower with Sky Light,
Electric opening Bathroom Vent,
Sofa Sleeper with Removable Table,
Queen Size Premium Mattress,
Day/Night Cloth Shades,
45 amp power converter with power cord,
dual batteries wired for vehicle charging,
19 inch TV, DVD/VCR Combo,
AM/FM Cd Player with Kenwood Surround Sound,
TV Antenna,
Exterior Speakers,
Raised Oak Panel Cabinets,
6.0 Cubic Foot Refrigerator,
6.0 CF refrigerator,
Ducted 13500 BTU AC Heat Thermostat,
16000 BTU Forced air ducted Heat,
12 Volt Water Pump, 6 gallon LPG electric start water heater,
40 Gallon Fresh Water Holding Tank,
Exterior Water Faucet,
Double LPG with 2 30 gallon tanks,
Gauges for wastewater fill ,
plenty of storage space.
The horse area has windows on both sides with guards on the head side.
The horse trailer has been pulled carefully and it is in perfect condition. No hidden problems . Since I have a lot of problems and I am very busy , I prefer closing the transaction trough an eBay purchase protection program because is this way both of us are protected. If you don't know how does the eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program work please let me know so I can help you. I used it several times (as a seller but as well as a buyer) and everything was perfect. The trailer was inspected by eBay and they approved the sale through their service . As well, shipping & handling fees are included in the final price ($ 9,200 ) and you will not have to pay any other taxes to register the trailer on your name. The trailer is at eBay's warehouse in NY and from there it will be shipped to the buyer's address after ebay will receive a deposit payment from the buyer. So you must know that I will sell the trailer to the first buyer who will send the deposit payment to ebay. If you are interested in going ahead with the transaction please let me know your full name and shipping address so I can open a transaction case through eBay with your details.
If not, please let me know as well in order to look for other buyer. If you need more pictures, just let me know. Thank you. Nick Scolls"
Have you heard of any Ebay warehouse? An Ebay inspection site? An Ebay approval process? When I replied that I was close to NY and wanted to look at it first, he broke off communication.
