Too good to be true, must be for parts or damaged, maybe even refurbished. The ( NEW) seller asks that you contact them before purchase, which i did from a G-mail account and they replied it's brand new in a sealed box. But here's where the strange stuff starts, the guy asked for my phone number, full name, shipping address. I replied with "why can i not go through Amazon" and received no reply.

Now i didn't send any info but some less suspicious people may do just that. To me this is a new scam and i am seeing it more and more on Amazon, all new sellers with zero feedback praying on old folks and unsuspecting buyers. I have made a # of reports to Amazon about this but this guy/girl/team seems to be popping up all over Amazon! So if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is

Me too. This bad ass go cart for 500. I just bought it & got a cancel notification about an hour later
