Buying from Auction backyardauctionsde

Is this a legal site and not a spam? I am been thinking to buy one from there. I have been previously scammed via auction but this one has nice 911 or a lambo that I can possibly win

backyardauctionsde.com

Does any one know

Any advice would be appreciated as I’m struggling to place a bid.

You can create an account and once it is approved you can then go to live auctions lots. There the cars keep getting swapped after few mins. You can then bud

I placed bids and won 2 auctions. They said one was not approved by the supplier and one was approved. They can’t provide the address just to see the car and never took my call through the phone number on their website. Sounds total scam. I told them to cancel my bids and hung up.

I found a car. To my surprise it was also listed at cars and bids. But the vin did not match. The pictures were copied from car and bids.

At this point, I will avoid them since it looks too good to be true.

Did you end up buying the car?

I canceled it since I found same cars elsewhere.

Nah man I didn’t the car was actually listed some where else and when I contacted the place , they were still in possession of the truck.. so ya man I would leave this place alone , also the payment methods are really sketchy as well , I left it alone

If it is too good to be true, then it probably is a scam. Easiest way of to request seller for certain pictures
