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 🙂 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. ---

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. ---
