Now how the hell is this possible??

Its saying 214 available. item location Dublin, Ireland

Is this for real

To be honest, doesnt look like.

Any comments?

Warning: I must add, came across this ad while just browsing on ebay. Please make sure that this is genuine before anyone decides to have a go. I have dropped seller few questions, will post if I receive any response.

I've seen the garda auction thing before, it's a scam.

Preset No.3

Big time scam!!!!!! Plus check the feedback. Its got three postive feedback in the last week but nothing before that and it has a 153 feedback! Plus the feedback came from people with o or 1 rating!!! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!

if it looks to good to be true, then it usually is, but then it is still tempting.... could do a PayPal Chargeback if it doesn't arrive anyway I suppose

Thanks guys, it did look fishy. The price did not look real at all.

Not going to buy anything just curious.

Couple of weeks back I did buy an E65 on adverts and for the moment I am happy with it

Having said that probably it will be a good warning to our dear board members.

Scam-o-rama. Sad thing is that when it goes wrong e-bay nor paypal won't be much help.

Mostly switched to adverts now too, flea-bay is pretty hopeless.

Always search for the fine print, as in the OP's ad:

Sales Note : we agree that by committing to purchase we are agreeing that we will receive information on garda sales only from this company. pictures are illustrations of all items available only.

The feedback pretty much gives the game away. 150 of the 153 positive ratings were feedbacks as BUYERS for one-cent purchases over a few days and the other 3 feedbacks were to new ebay accounts. It's a quick way of building up a high rating before the scam is launched.

I wonder will the scammees get their money back or is this just an expensive lesson learnt?

:eek:
People just see the breathtaking prices and become mad immediately...I must buy it, right here, right NOW!
It's really hard to believe these special offers are just floating around in Ireland. Blame ebay? No. Who is to blame then? The people.
The people are still stupid enough to go for such a bargain these days.

Have a good day.

:pac:

As a recent convert to EBay I have to say it's been all good for me so far but I was only looking for good value - not insane prices

i really hope people fall for this, they'll have no one to blame but themselves

just like that guy who bought the new xbox box. :rolleyes:
