too good to be true?

We have been offered some cheap sony laptops from a chap who has good seller feedback on ebay and a vat number but not a lot else.

The deal he is offering us is stunning however I'm a little sceptical. He would like bank xfer before he ships. This is not something I'm going to do. Is there anyway I can verify he is legit?

Should I have posted this in general gassing? Or B2B?

anyone else know where I can get very cheap sony kit?

Time for some mystic meg... The guy is from europe, most likely Italy. He wants you to do the Bank transfer via Western Union.

No he is from lancashire, not sure who he wants to do the bank xfer with.

Still no response from him re me going and getting them. Maybe it is all a bit tricky for him.

lol

he has now responded by saying if we send him the cash for one he will send us two as proof of his honesty..

Hmm reduces my exposure by £4k but still not sure.
I've asked if I can go and get all that he has in stock, we'll see what he says to that.

If this does work out I'll pass he details on as it is a very good deal..

Hmm, well he is not responding to my offers of picking them up for a bankers draft of cash so I guess it is a scam.

Bugger we were all getting excited about new laptops.

Anyone able to get us cheap sony gear and actually get it ?
