Harry it may be a good buy but be very careful of e-bay transactions. Unless you know the seller it is somewhat suspect. While there are deals and good transactions there are the ones who do take advantage of buyers,. E-bay is no guarentee of product. what you buy is what you get. There are no returns. Seien Sie Vorsichtiger Einkaufen. chuck.

When I click on your ebay link, it shows $500 starting bid, which ends in 3 days, chance are that in the last day it will skyrocket to $2000 plus.
You do need to be careful as Chuck suggest.

BEWARE...This GUY IS A RIPOFF... its amazing that ebay cant remove him.. This is what happened to me. l sent him a email He said that l had to pay through Western union...ifl you do that you wont get you money back through ebay. So l never went through with my order.,Three times l have reported him to ebay and they remove the item but he keeps coming back...This time he says that he is in the States last time he was in the Ukraine

As it has been said if it is too good to be true it usually is >:D >:D
Thanks for the warning.

That seller has a 100% positive feedback and E-Bay has a note on the page that they guarentee the deal and the shipping.
It sounds suspect and you have to wonder if is really a good deal. Could there be that much of a markup that someone could sell it for $1000?
-
Well go ahead send him a email Tell him {just as l did } that you wish to pay through Paypal . lf he says says yes, thats ok you have nothing to lose EB will refund your money if its a scam.. But on the other hand if he asks for you to pay with Western union EB wont cover the costs Your call !

Hello FWP and welcome to the forum!
I seen a report on German TV how easily this 100% positive feedbacks can be faked.
I'd never go for this offer, 'cause there's something wrong to me. Not just one brandnew unit, but couple of them for 1000.- bucks a shot if you buy them right away??
Hm, either this dude is a millionaire and one of his housekeeping staff overdid some kitchen oderings or the units are from questionable origin (fell from a truck at the factory gate?).
Anyway as Offroad pointed out the guy's homebase is not verifiable. So I leave my hands off of this "offer". Better save than ripped off.

There is a major problem on ebay with people hacking a legit account and then listing Atv's, Sonar units, boats, anything expensive for an unbelievable deal. They either want you to contact them and wire money, or they want your ebay info and end up having you transfer funds. They list it under the good feedback of the account that was hacked.

I use E-Bay often but I usually don't buy anything expensive. I never heard about hacking an E-Bay account. I have no doubt it could be done but you have to wonder how an outfit like E-Bay would let a hacker last much longer than a few hours.

it says paypal preferred? and like someone said this is just the starting of the bid process? i don't smell anything yet unless it sold for this price.
ooops - i didn't pay attention but this item ended Mar 19, 201016:22:09 PDT
and probably ended by ebay --they sniff these things out quickly
