Need your opinion - ebay experts

guys I’m bidding something on ebay, it’s a P800 by sony, retail price is about $670
and then suddenly this guy ( I dont know where he came from) he emailed me and told me that He got a brand new P800 for $500 incl shipping, excpet if I wanna do the airmail or something, I have to add like $30.

he told me he got the stuff from his cousin in Tokyo (his cousin owns a store)
he gave me his home address in canada, which I don’t know what Im gonna do with that :slight_smile:
the patment should be done using western union instead of paypal.

what do you think?

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Collectible glassware is one of my hobbies, so I’ve been buying & selling on eBay for over four years now. The scenario that you’ve described is a classic scam. I can’t say for sure that this one is too, but the risk is too high and you have no recourse if you do get stung.

Also, eBay would consider the e-mail to be auction intereference, a rather severe infraction that would likely get the sender’s eBay account suspended, if they are reported. If I were the seller of that auction I’d certainly hope someone would do exactly that.

thanks abzoid :slight_smile:

hm, but it is true, that you get computer stuff in China and Japan earlier and cheaper…

hmmm any thoughts?

Tell him to put it on eBay with a $500 Buy It Now option.
The fact that he’s leaching someone elses buyers speaks volumes about his character, 'nuff said.

why dont you make a Pc yourself? You can probably make it with that processor or higher for same price or cheaper =) And theres tons of resouces online about building a PC (and its not too difficult) Anyway, just a suggestion =)

I use pricewatch.com =)
enjoy =)

p800 is a cellphone :slight_smile:

like i said!
You can find the parts at radio shack and you take some diodes…

Sorry for my Stupidity. lol
