Is this a scam? Another scam eBay listing?

[mpowrd]

Can this listing be for real? Check this out:
eBay item 7179724285

No reserve (even though the seller references one in the listing), no shipping cost or information, and a $10 starting bid? This looks too good to be true, so I'm thinking it must be.

Does anyone recognize the rig?

For that price, I'd fly to Ohio and drive the sucker all the way to California!

Ditto for this one:
eBay item 7542624873

What's with all the secrecy about bidders?

They certainly carry all the trademarks of a scam listing. A 3-day listing, vague on details, low price.

The first one looks less suspicious just because it isn't a 'registered bidders only', but perhaps this was just a mistake when they listed the item. $6,800 buy-it-now for a 2004 BX23 just seems too low to be real, and the listing includes the magic scam-alert phrase of 'Escrow Service'.

The second one without a location and for registered bidders almost certainly is a scam, if nothing else at least a high-risk item to be cautious of.

Both of them are gone now. Huh go figure.
