I smell a scam! Watch your backs.
Bank transfer before collection.
Text from an old listing.
No feedback.

Looks like a scam, especially given the sellers location...

REALLY?! How did anyone ever sell anything if having feedback of zero means you're a scammer? Using bank transfer for payment is pretty common among businesses...the guy IS new after all and is probably requesting this to avoid rubber cheques. Having said that, he *could* accept PayPal or Cash On Collection...and maybe he would...if anyone bothered to ask?

AND??? He's not saying you HAVE to pay before collecting. My point is that he could be covering his ass against none-payers...but nobody knows whether he would accept payment on collection...because nobody has asked! It could easily be a scam. It could easily be a newbie mistake.
I think it's a case of "buyer beware" rather than burning the seller on the stake.Last edited by birchy; 21-09-2013 at 06:04 PM.

It won't sell because its a Marchant Dice 8' x 4' unit and he's asking the same price as it is new...
