Premium Members Sydney Seeber Posted December 17, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 This "Private Bidder", who seems to be quite active during Nigerian business hours, conveniently outbids me by $100 every time I raise the bid. Last time one of these d-bags "Won" an auction of mine I got them to pay shipping for the box of rocks I sent them. I hope I win this, wish me luck!

Klay Cook Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I always liked the story of the guys that advertise classic cars and bait the crooks into paying shipping for one overseas....then send them a container full of smashed pianos!!! Ouch....what a shipping bill!!!!!!!!!! We WON!!! Here is the email I received a bit ago today.

tadeo garcia Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 hey thanks so much for posting this. it did turn out to be a scam because i placed a bid on it. unfortunatley i lost the auction but it appeared again on ebay. i sent a message to the seller but no response. i too was a little taken aback by the wire transfer but i bid on it anyways. a few days later, the auction was taken down due to security issues on it. im assuming it was a scam. thanks for posting thi though!!! Hi folks, Has anyone seen this sale? First I want to apologize to the owner if it's a legitament sale. But.... It's a Steadicam Master Elite package. Several pictures, all seems ok, except, I saw there was no reserve and it was at 5K (today it's at 6100.) Then I see the seller has 100% feedback, all good so far, but the account has been dormant since 2003 until like 2 months ago when a couple of super cheap items were purchased to drum up more positive feedback. So... I sent the seller a question asking that if I won the auction, if I could pick up the system in person in Ohio, since I have lots of friends all over the state. I got the response that They do not provide pick up for the unit and they will only ship directly from their shipping department. In the ad it states only Wire into their Bank of America business account will be accepted., No Paypal, No Checks or Money Orders. But the listing does indicate they will accept Visa/Mastercard payments. Private bidding where bidders aren't shown at all, not even feedback rating. Which to me says, no retrievable means of payment should something be a miss. Once again, nothing meant by this only to protect would be investors, this may be a totally legitament deal. You never know... If it's real, someone may get one hell of a deal. 1 day, 3 hours left....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
