    Have a look at the following Ebay auction and tell what you think of it.
    Xbox360Everything looks ok.The only thing I don't like is the bit down the bottom.
    THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD BY MYSELF AS A TRADING ASSISTANT QUESTIONS FOR THIS WILL BE PASSED ON TO THE SELLER OR CALL BRUNO ON 01312*****
    Seller has a verified paypal a/c.
    Just waiting to hear back from the seller on shipping costs.
    If it's all above board it's a pretty good price.

    If it sounds too good to be true, it more than likely is.

    It looks like everything is above board apart from what you mentioned so I would ask the seller about that or perhaps give that chap a call.

    Seems ok, the number is an edinburgh one (0131).

    Trading Assistants are an ebay phenomenon:

    Trading Assistants are experienced eBay sellers who have indicated their willingness to sell items for others for a fee. People who want to hire a Trading Assistant can get more information on the program here or search the Trading Assistant Directory here to find someone to sell for them.

    Cheers rgfuller. Didn't know that kind of thing went on on Ebay.
    Googled the phone number yesterday and found it's in Edinburgh city alright.
    Think I'll chance it anyway.Always have paypal;) to fall back on if things go bad.
    Thanks all for the replies.

    Well never got a quote for shipping to Ireland and then the auction ended 21 hours before it's limit. Very strange.:confused:
    Maybe the person with the "units" was pulling a fast one via the trading assistant.
    Maybe they were all sold via another method.
    Bottom line,I didn't got for it seeing that they never replied with postage costs.
    Maybe it was to good to be true.:(

    Damn you Ebay *shakes fist*:p :p
