I am almost positive that the Se didnt even offer a 4 speed.
Scam, or the guy just has absolutly no clue what he is talking about.

Hmmm, interesting...
At $500.00 it becomes a different class of crime, one that the authorities may actually investigate.
Scammers know this, and generally keep their "price" below $500. I've discovered a couple of outright frauds on eBay in the past.
Or, maybe this guy is really just clueless. -WG

he's not sold anything before, so I'm going to vote clueless....

you don't generally try to scam on such a specific item, or at least I wouldn't.

Either way I wouldn't trust it...
No pictures and rough description..
Especially with it being the person's first sale.

He may have just gotten it confused with his being a "trainee" at Burger King. -WG
