Hmm.

Looks like the seller in Glasgow is banking on buying the machine from the bloke in Telford and seeing a profit on it ...

Looking at David_Robert_Henson's 3 previous purchases it would seem he's a gullible fool that's after a get rich quick scheme.

Conning people on e-bay could well be it...

I reported them - did anyone else?

There were a lot of bids against one of the auctions, and apart from the sellers f/b, it would have looked OK if the other auction wasn't so dodgy.
Why on earth say 'discreet cash only' - even the barmiest of eBay buyers surely wouldn't bid on that?

I also posted it on an eBay newsgroup and someone emailed the high bidder on the auction that had bids. He had 80+ f/b so ought to have realised but he apparently replied that he thought he'd be OK if he paid with PayPal - the payment method on that one was cheque only!!

Would be great if each auction had it's own mini forum (as part of the auction page) for useres to make comment. A seller that's solid could field all questions & comments; one that's a rouge would crumble.

At the moment only questions that the seller chooses to be shown are shown.
