Decent '23 Touring, with high bid of $5K, and he cancels all bids and sells it for $3700, so he says.

Go figure..

The buyer probably told the seller he was sending a $10,000 check to pay the "shipper" when they arrive. Then keep the rest for the car. The buyer will end up with no car, cash he paid the shipper and the $10k when the bank bounces the original check.

I think that's how the scam goes.

Welcome back home by the way!

Ops. That's the SELER that will end up with no car, cash and 10K.

Not unusual, when I bought my first Model T, it was advertized for the best offer over $6,000. I made an appointment to look at the T and told the owner that I could go $5,000 but not $6,000. The owner had a check in hand from a guy 2000 miles away that had just called to see if the check had arrived yet. It had and the next question was, "when can you deliver that T?" The owner noted there was nothing in the ad about a free delivery and was told that a delivery should be expected for that kind of money. That check was immediately returned and my offer for $5,000 with no delivery was promptly accepted.
