Take a look at this. Should I gamble on it or not touch it with a 10ft pole? My instincts tell me to go with the latter:confused:

Run away!

eBay should do something about these jokers. Forcing them to supply payment information would be a start ...

Unfortunately, it doesn't just happen on e-Bay. You can find these guys all over the place. And no one seems to be willilng to prosecute them.

I saw a guy trying to sell an aircraft radio while the real radio was still up for auction on the same site. He even used the same pictures. Only difference between him and the real seller (besides one having the radio and the other not) was that you had to contact him by e-mail and pay him with a Western Union payment to an address in Romania. :) :)

Or a newer version: If you have to ask on a forum whether or not its true, it isn't.

This kind of junk goes on all the time with ebay. stay away from anything that looks too good to be true. this kind is pretty easy top spot but some look more real, and people can get badly burned.

there was a set of threads about ebay crooks in the market watch section just recently. Be careful!
