Beast!

Think I'll leave it, although I'm told they were a very capable piece of kit.

"He hasn't owned it long but is selling for a friend who isn't in to computers" smells fishy!!

 

[Grassman]

His friend isn't in to "computors" and he isn't in to spelling!!!!

Still it may be genuine.

Nah, not keen on the older ones with the strait stickers, they look better with the curved ones on the top

Hi,

Don't think this one was a scam but I'm having a nice time with the seller, agreed a private sale as the advert suggested would be ok, when the auction started to get going a bit more I decided to bid as I wanted the item one way or another, was trying to get hold of the seller during the auction to arrange payment and collection, refuses to answer, so I carried on bidding and won the auction, still can't get a reply by phone or email, to add insult to it he opened a case against me yesterday for non payment!

To be fair the nice folks at eBay are going to sort it all out but thought I should post here to let you know the man is a time waster.

Funny thing is on the invoice eBay gave me his full address! If I had nothing better to do I'd go down there sh@t through his letterbox

I keep getting them as well but also 1s that are "apparently" from paypal, whenever I get an email like this I don't follow any of the email hyperlinks but just go to the website and log in the usual way just to check it's all ok

Always check on the ebay site to see if the message is in there . if not its from Nigeria or some where

Looks a good buy. He might be quibbling because he has said he will post it to you for £2.38.

Was told today that one of the latest things is to sell in-contract i-phones and enabled i-pads, draw the money and then in 3 months time report it nicked; you end up with a barred phone, and flea-bay/PayPal will not want to know after 90 days.
