I was selling a car on yahoo auctions. This, (probably a nigerian scam artist)idiot, did the BIN option. Ok fine, I replied wanting his contact info because that price I had on there was just for that purpose. (a little high for the car in that shape) Well, here was his reply:

If you didn't catch it, he is buying a LAPTOP when I sold him a CAR!!! (If you can fit a 1975 Pontiac on your lap, and live, I'll be pretty willing to negotiate a really, really good price with you!!) I am now in the process of trying to report him to yahoo auctions, if someone has any info to speed that process along I'd greatly appreciate it.
In the yahoo auction, I had pictures of the car, and had mentioned several times it was a CAR!! I just thought I'd add this in case there was any confusion!!
