Tristan,
I propose to close the deal trough eBay, since they are the biggest and the most trustworthy online market place, under their Buyer Protection Program. Basically, it's similar to buying locally. My PayPal is overloaded and I can't use it. Anyway, in the way that we make the deal you will receive first the iPhone and you have 7 days available to check and to decide if you keep it or not. For payment we will use eBay Buyer Protection Program. eBay will contact you on email with the Payment Invoice. eBay will contact us (seller and buyer) with payment and delivery instruction.
You will have to pay eBay ,the money will be sent to their holding account, and they will keep the money until you will receive the iPhone. After they inform me that they have secured your payment into their account, I'll deliver the iPhone to your address and pay the shipping myself. After you will test it, inspect it for 7 days and decide to keep it, they will forward the money to me once you have approved them to do so. If you won't like or if it is not as advertised, which I can assure you it won't be the case because this is new in perfect working condition the iPhone will be returned to me at my expense and you get full refund from eBay.
To register the deal at eBay I need from you these info: eBay user ID, full name, address, city, zip code, country and your phone number . As soon you give me these details I will register the deal and eBay will send us invoices.
Waiting your reply.
Thanks!

Good evening Kevin,
Im interested, Can you explain more as I am interested in one.
The thing is I am very weary about is that for last few weeks Ive came across a lot of people as I want to look for new iphone and I ended up finding out that they were scamming me/fraud etc which lost my trust on buying it, that is why I wanted to deal one via ebay and paypal that way I feel more safer. I hope you do understand, I really do want to get iphone as long no one mucks around with me.
Regards
Tristan

Tristan, Shipping is for free (included in the price). So the final price is $500 for one unit. My PayPal is overloaded and I can't use it. Anyway, in the way that we make the deal you will receive first the iPhone and you have 7 days available to check and to decide if you keep it or not.
If you are still interested please give me a reply to explain you more ..

Reminds of the P4 Powerbook scam
With ebay, as a buy, never do anything other than paypal. Paypal is all about the buyer.
and here comes another one of these once in a life time deals:
I am interested in purchasing 3 of the iphones you have for sale on ebay. .... That's the ebay.co.uk BTW
and the response I get is:
...
All phones are 100% original from Apple , Brand New , factory unlocked , in sealed boxes , with all standard accessories included ... Each phone have 1(one) year international Apple Care warranty . The warranty is valid once you activate the phone.
You can use the phones with any sim card in any country. I have both colors : black and white . I bought the phones from Apple Factory Foxconn and also this is the reason why i have low prices.
I can ship anywhere with UPS , DHL or FedEx with Air Express services(24h to 48h delivery) with tracking number. The delivery is free and there are no customs taxes(i can send as a gift or put a low value i can even write that i send shoes or cloths). I ship from UK.
Let me know how many phones do you want to buy so we can talk about payment ....
Sounds familiar right?
Didn't bother going any further with the transaction as I will be purchasing directly from Foxconn
They have massive sale going on. In fact, check out your local flea markets and garage sales, these 32G Iphones are everywhere now I don't recommend the 1 dollar shops as getting 2 iphones for a bug is a bit too much
Anyway, thanks a lot for the thread guys and stay tuned for these amazing deals

this thread has been resurected 4 times now. Is there really something so important that you have to dig up a year old thread??
