This eBay ad is more than suspect.  A quick view of the seller's history shows they've never even sold anything before.  All the history is as a buyer.  A quick look at the member questions shows that we're in for a ride (and not in a 113)!

Another Scam?  A vertical spare 1965 230SL?  That's a big question.  They stopped the vertical spare in 64 with vin #7205.  The vin given # 3501 is clearly a 64 made between the months of March and April.
In any case, beware.

The latest is a disclaimer that there is no car for sale, that she has been scammed.

eBay works well if both the buyer and the seller are normal, honest people. I have had some good luck and some bad luck: A Club (to lock the steering wheel) I sent back because it wasn't as advertised, was allegedly never received and I'm out of the money I paid. A computer I bought was never shipped: PayPal got some of the money back for me, but couldn't recover $350. I was notified recovery is done on "a best effort basis". A friend of mine sold a notebook and received e-mail what looked just like PayPal: "You did receive a payment". Except it was a fake: The buyer didn't send money, but wanted the computer shipped to Africa. The e-mail looked so real. My friend checked his PayPal account several times: He couldn't believe it. Maybe fraud is increasing. People think they are immune because they are anonymous. It is probably difficult to prosecute and near impossible to recover.
