Tell him you're in his city and want to see it. His response will tell you everything.

[Bnorman58]

Here is his reply to terms and conditions . Very strange and fishy.

If you want to buy it now for the price of $2000 with shipping and handling included, I will need your Full Name, Address (Shipping Address) and Username eBay so i can contact the eBay to let them know about our transaction and after they will approve it, you will receive an invoice containing all the steps that you need to follow for this to be a safe and fast transaction. My auction is 14 days, money back guarantee (if it's not like we agreed or broken you will receive the money back). I can ship in 3 days, and please let me know if we can arrange a deal.Your reply will be very appreciated.

Time to report it to eBay

[bradski]

You have to figure it is a scam. I just dont get how they can get away with money as paypal can be disputed?


Also i put this in the wrong forum. If someone can move it.

Reply when asked if i could pickup in person.

I would definitely preferred cash method face to face, if i wouldn't be in a trip with work in Europe, since is impossible for me to complete it in person.
I've received your info, I`ve contacted eBay and they said they will send you an invoice for this transaction as soon as possible. In the invoice you will find all the info that you need to complete this transaction. Please notice that if you don't receive the invoice in the inbox folder you need to look in the spam/junk folder because other buyers told me that they`ve received the invoice there. Let me know when you have received it because if you won't receive it within 1 hour i`ll have to contact eBay to see why they didn't sent it.

Then i got an email from "ebay""


It was soo bad

[Ronsc1985]

Any transaction which has a payment outside of ebay is illegitimate by definition. For some reason these phony GC2 "auctions" have been going on forever. I think I reported at least three when I was looking for a used GC2.

After reporting they were immediately removed. Funny thing was they came back a week later with a slightly different methodology to circumvent eBay. Apparently the "seller" had re-registered with a new name.

Complete scam. Be careful.

[bradski]

They guy emailed me later and asked if i received the invoice. Lol. I told him I did but it wasnt from ebay. I said I would send him the money after I received the gc2.

I hope he did not already spend the money

[ks-man]

What you should do is ask him to prove his legitimacy by e-mailing you photos of him doing different acts. That way you will know he is legitimate. For example, if he lies in the middle of the street and can take 10 pictures of cars driving by and they are close enough that you can read the license plate you will understand his dedication and send him the money. Or else if he can take a picture dressed in a Santa Claus suit feeding a bottle to a baby donkey you will know that he is serious about this transaction.

There used to be a website set up that people would tell their stories of getting Nigerians to do insane things by requesting pictures. It was hilarious.

Found the website, it's called 419eater.com

Wow this is great timing on this offer. I actually just received an email from a Nigerian Prince that told me he is sending me $64 million. I'll probably buy a couple of these gc2 auctions once the money comes through.
