Default Two e-bay t/a scams?

Guys, just lurking around E-bay and noticed two 73 T/A's for sale. Something aint right. One is claimed to be an SD for $9000 and the other is a "show car" with a BIN of $2900. Am I seeing things?
I don't know how to provide the link, you'll have to do it manually.

Current bid is ten bucks, and no reserve! If it looks too good to be true...

In these too good to be true offers, the seller always wants you to contact them via an alternate email before you bid or your bid will be canceled. And they always have the same reason, their ebay email isn't working properly. For fun I contacted one of these hacks once, sent me lot's of pictures of a 70 TA for 5000 bucks. Kept pressuring me to buy 'right now' and that he would use ebay for payment. When I hard pressed him for the VIN the emails stopped.

Funny, same brick wall in the background of some photos of both cars.

Sounds like a borker to me.

Sad thing is, some poor sap is going to find out the hard way. Life's lessons 101.

Looks like E-bay removed them.
