adledman Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 so this appeared on ebay and i bid more out of curiosity. it sold for £420ish and my last bid was £252 and 4 hours after it finished i get a "second chance offer" at £252! so what happened to all the bids between £252 and £420? as they always say its too good to be true but if payed by paypal then is there still a risk on my behalf? here is the sale number 120622777850 and did i mention its in thailand?

BottomEndian Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120622777850"]This one[/url]? It's still for sale, with a BIN price of £252.01. Thailand, with zero feedback? Wouldn't touch it with someone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 How long after the auction ended did you get the offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 This is too much like a scam to be worth taking any further. With apologies to all the honest people in the Far East, but that is one of the areas that I wouldn't buy from under any circumstances.

The Bass Doc Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Thailand? Instead of a high end bass, you'll probably find it's just a man dressed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Lovely looking thing but there's not a chance you'll get to own it by clicking that BIN! Also i think you'll lose the postage of £48 if you claim through Paypal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misrule Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 This from the seller's terms and conditions on the same page: "We will be unable to accept returns if you remove the tags, wash, or wear them." So don't stick it in the washer, whatever you do Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Thats gorgeous..... I don't see the problem, with paypal protection and a very specific description can you really go far wrong? If its not what they say it is, you send it back, you get refunded (by them or paypal through dispute)? Yes you'll be £50 down for postage, but i don't think its necessarily a complete no go...

They're selling it for, what, £250? The text is obviously lifted from a shop's website, it talks about buying multiple items but the seller doesn't have anything else for sale. The terms and conditions even suggest he's selling clothes. The only paragraph written by the seller -- who has no previous history -- is in poor English while the rest is perfect. Wait, are you being sarcastic? Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
