Took Long Enough

In my writeup for the SpyHunter Diablo, I mentioned how unnecessarily difficult it was getting one. Aside from the long gaps between sightings due to its rarity, there are two stories that particularly stand out:

First, I had was the winning bidder of one on eBay. Payment was sent, Diablo was shipped, all was good. Then I get an e-mail from the seller, saying that the Post Office had damaged the item and returned it to him. How bad? He'll let me know. Any update? He needs to check it. I'll still take it if the car is intact but the package is wrecked. OK, he'll see what he can do. he didn't. Transaction cancelled, money refunded, everyone annoyed.

Later, I found one at a place online that sells older and unusual collectibles. The listing was correct for the Diablo, but the photos were a combination of it and the Saleen. E-mail is sent: which one is it? They don't know, they'll check. They do, listing is pulled, they go into Witness Protection as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure which is worse: two scammers picking extraordinarily low-yield collectibles to try to grift who panic when someone asks questions, or two people who can't figure out how to physically look at an item that is ostensibly in their possession...
