who is this ebay seller

So this seller has a number of porsches up for sale and only one feedback - Ad is very weak. I am guessing a new name to hide bad feedback since it seems improbable that he is a newbie given the looks of the shop.

all things point to run but the car is interesting. anyone know this seller or how to find past feedback under a different name?

Downey california -Motor miester remains?

Seems very fishy to me....

Why would a shop sell the car in pieces rather than put it back together and likely make some more money??

Rebuilt title -- probably a pretty low ceiling on the car's value. There is no guarantee that the car is worth more together than in pieces.

I would guess this is just an advertisement to pique someone's interest in the car, then get in their pocket for the repairs:

1. Prospective buyer comes in to check out the car.

2. Garage comes to sales terms.

3. New owner pays garage for car ($) -- pays them to put it back to together ($$), and pays them to fix other things that are wrong ($$$).

Why put it together for free if you can get someone to pay you $120 per hour to do it?
