Frightenly Too Good To Be True

[Moof1904]

This person on eBay claims to have three DP G5 2.5GHz with 30" ACD systems for sale with a buy it now price of $1500 USD.

He's not in Nigeria, amazingly. He's in the U.K.

Unless I'm misunderstanding his listing, this is insanely too good to be true and causes me to run screaming in the other direction.

😱

Its a scam, you are right to run. Giveaway signs are always the email at bit and free shipping. And its only open to pre-approved bidders aswell.

I wish they would use proper english aswell. 🙁

Doesn't seem to want to sell it _through_ eBay, just on eBay. I wonder why. 🙂

 

[Blue Velvet]

Hmm... photos of boxes -- not encouraging.

Not much of a selling history, either.

the pre approved thing is usually a give away of a scam, it probably is too good to be true if you ask me, stay away i would
