Obviously I'm skeptical but I put a bid in at the starting bid pretty sure that nobody else would bid on it as it does look extremely dodgy.
However, the items are located where I work, and although he wont accept cash on collection 'due to being robbed' I am going to contact him and ask him if I can meet him in a well lit cafe in Manchester or somewhere similar.
I have no doubts really that this wont happen.
Obviously if and when he says no, I will back out of the deal - yes, you may think I am an arse for bidding on something like this with no intention of going along with the way he wishes the deal to be carried out but... tough.
My other question - for something that lucks to be such a blatant scam, his method of payment is Paypal, I always thought Paypal was quite watertight if you used your credit card to fund the payment as it was fairly easy to do a chargeback?
So, i've either got a couple of bargains or no harm done.

smells very very very fishy to me, 28 days for delivery??? from Manchester? yeah right, sounds like just enough time to be outside the paypal proction program maybe?
Yep they are both scams definately 
As said above, 28 days gives them time to pocket their £1000 and they will be gone.
One feedback? Hope no one gets stung but looks likely!
