Heads up, guys - Did a search on eBay for the Bichi Toys '57 Buick Roadmaster from Argentina; found one listed at $74.90 and put it on my watch list. This morning I got an email titled "Seller offered a special discount $39.90 on OLD VERY RARE BUICK 1957..." saying since I was interested, the seller was offering it cheaper. I was close to going ahead with it but some type of spider-sense told me to check on it, so I sent it to spoof@ebay.com. Sure enough, I got a message a few minutes later saying in part "Most likely, the message you received was not sent to you by eBay." Interesting thing was the fake message was sent to my eBay inbox as well. Anybody else get an email like this? I've never been sent a "discount" email like that before. Here's the car in question: https://www.ebay.com/itm/OLD-VERY-RARE-BUICK-1957-BICHI-CARLOS-V-ARGENTINA-ANTIQUE-TIN-TOY-CAR/362599436340?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I've discussed it before; it was cribbed from the original '57 Roadmaster promo but molded in styrene - so no warp/shrinkage.
