There have been quite a few that have been relisted several times. I have
also read some stories about airplanes with "histories" that appear on eBay.
I must admit though, I look at them frequently, along with the Yak 52s and
AN 2s in Russia but haven't had the courage to go any further.

Most of the ads on there that I've seen (haven't looked recently) included
right to a complete pre-buy inspection. The seller only wanted an escrow
deposit to prove good-faith on the part of the buyer.

I probably won't use that means, but I think it might really be worth
considering if you have the time and contacts to keep yourself protected.

Musings..

How stupid would you have to be to buy an airplane sight-unseen at Ebay
motors? Just marginally stupid or something close to incredibly stupid?

I'm not going to do it.. but it is temping to throw a bid in there.
Russian roulette, yeah, but, heck, there's 6 cylinders in a revolver.
:-) Seriously, I'd guess it's pretty rare for somebody to really get
burned that way. Especially since any dishonesty would be grounds for a
lawsuit. But, I don't want to be one of the unlucky "few"..
