Did I miss something?

As some of you have read, I've been looking around at purchasing a new tractor.

Well, I found a 2006 Kubota L3400DT 4 WD with a loader for only $5200!
That is shipped, insured and 3 days to look it over. If not delighted
I can simply ask for my money back.

What a steal :-)

Here are 2 emails from the seller, with names redacted:

Re: 2006 L3400DT KUBOTA 4WD Tractor with LA463 Kubota QT Loader

Hi,

          I appreciate your interest regarding my L3400DT Kubota.
   I will sell it for $5,200.00. The price includes shipping and
insurance to your address.
   Let me know if you are interested.

I asked him a couple questions and got this back...

Hi,

I live in Regina, SK, Canada and the tractor is here with me. It has
clear title cleared of any obligations or fees (no lien) and it it
registered in US, I've just moved here. It will be shipped from Regina
and I'll pay the delivery costs.

I want to close this deal through eBay. They will keep the amount paid
until you'll receive, inspect and agree with the tractor. I'll start
the delivery process in the same day with the payment's confirmation.
It will arrive at your address in 5-7 days. I will give you 3 days for
inspection.

Tell me if you are still interested and I will contact eBay regarding
our transaction. Then they will send you the information about the
purchasing.

Thanks!

I reported him to the FBI's internet fraud department.
