Darn you guys... now Im tempted to buy 10 of each item, like the MRV "giveaway". They would make for some more nice presents to friends and family... and PayPal is supposed to protect us if it doesnt show up. What do you guys think?
I can't resist even though it totally looks like a scam. Not only the pictures but also the whole auction text including estimated shipping times are a blatant copy of cyberport888.
Certainly sounds too good to be true. I've seen new sellers practically give stuff away in order to get five star DSRs and qualify for eBay's power seller program but, in this case I agree; nine bucks for a SR-5 and a R5-A3 just screams scam. And a pretty stupid one at that -- even if the guy actually manages to spend the money before Paypal catches on and freezes the account (and they're not really shy about that either), he's still likely to face federal charges.
I've had the R5-A3 on my whishlist since it came out. I seriously doubt I'll ever get it but at $9, oh well, I'll give it a shot.
What the heck. I don't have one of these yet and it looks like a XP-G R5 from the pictures. So I bought one. I know my chances of losing my money are greater than 50%. Not sure how this will work out if the guy sends something completely different because I'm sure not going to throw more money away sending the thing back.
Paypal shows the payment status as Unclaimed. Does that mean this guy doesn't even have an account yet? The payment just goes to an e-mail address.
