Hi,
I am selling this bus because my unit has been sent back to Afghanistan and don't want it get old in my backyard. The price is low because I need to sell it before Feb 24. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident.I do have the title , clear, under my name.The bus has 32,550 miles, year 1964.
It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $4300. The bus is in Great Falls, MT, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
Regards,
Philip Morgan

Hi,
As I've told you at this moment I am in in Great Falls, MT in a military base getting ready for Afghanistan. This means that I do a special training program and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or give calls whenever I want.The shipping won't be a problem because I can do it at no cost for you. You will receive the vehicle along with all the documents including title, bill of sale, full service records and more .Because it is a large transaction we will complete the deal only using an authorized  third party like eBay, using their Business Purchase Protection Program.The payment will be handling by eBay and you will benefit of 5 days inspection time period (test drive) and the option to accept or reject the vehicle on my expense. If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address. I will forward your info and they will notify you about our deal.
Thanks,
Philip Morgan

Sorry, why would you pay for shipping ?  
You could have gotten more for it on eBay.

RUN!
This is an old scam, there is no E-bay 3rd party protection program. He takes the money and disappears.  E-bay won't touch a transaction outside their own organization and even if they did it would be through Paypal. He could even set up a web site that looks like e-bay but isn't and claim its the "protection site". Scammers have been doing this for quite sometime just to grab pass words and such. I'd report it to e-bay by FWDing it to: spoof@ebay.com

I wasn't really going through with it. It was fun while it lasted.
