I cut and pasted that item number in E-bay search and was taken to a Nokia doo dad of some sort.

For some reason I have noticed quite a few Buy It Now ebay listings for cars set at $5,400. In all cases the cars are worth many times that amount. Must be one scammer trying to find a taker.

I think I saw the same one and thought immediately, this must be a scam. There's clearly something weird going on, when I tried to hit the "watch this item" it took me to the Nokia item too.
Then I tried copying the webline, and I noticed that it is not even an ebay cite - it show's up on the ebay search, but then immediately redirects you to a geocities.com site

I have attempted to report it to Ebay.

Folks, there are some excellent prior posts in the forum on ebay scams. The "redirects" indicate that you might want to do a malware or spyware scan on your computer.
Same thing happened with my wife last month on Trek bikes. Price too good to be true...they wouldn't take PayPal only wires(for a $2,500 bike)...this combination inevitably flags a fraud.
When you come across this on ebay, I encourage you to report it to ebay immediately...Ebay is a great resource and we have to collectively work to keep it clean.
