It seems dodgy that he has 10 for sale and they are going cheap?

Well they certainly have a lot of phones to sell judging their other items for sale!
I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole!Tank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -

The price is worryingly cheap (assuming his quoted RRp is accurate) but I can't see any other warning signs... yet...My TV is broken!

Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
Could be - if you look at his previous auctions the listings are a good deal cruder!
I don't know if the charged location on the current phones (Swansea to Bridgend) is significant.My TV is broken!

All previous feedback is for small items, used clothes etc. Bit of a difference to what's being sold now. Maybe genuine but.....0

I'll guess at a hijacked account ,,,,,Ex forum ambassador

Does seem a bit dubious, gone from selling items from his own home to 10 brand new phones.
His last purchase was from New Zealand for a cheap game.
Plus if you check out the bidders for these phones, they all have low feedback scores. Allways a good sign of a scam.Mansion TV. Avoid at all cost's :j0 -
They've recently got some positive feedback for 3 phones which have been sold, and the buyers have respectable feedback scores too.loonee wrote:All previous feedback is for small items, used clothes etc. Bit of a difference to what's being sold now. Maybe genuine but.....0 -

I think 2 of these phones were bought, not sold and secondhand. All of them were for under £20, not quite the same as 10 brand new phones of the same model. Auction had ended now so I guess the winners will find out soon.0 -
