I've received a 'second chance offer' for £750 of Argos vouchers at a very good price. I'm tempted to accept the offer but it's a cheque arrangement and the buyer has only been registered for 2 weeks and has zero feedback!
Is this 'too good to be true'?

Make £2018 in 2018 no. 37 - total = £1626.25/£2018 :j0 -
Can you arrange to see and validate the vouchers before paying?
Where is the seller based and how much do they want?
If they are within a reasonable travelling distance, I might consider agreeing to buy on collection.
I would not buy sight unseen.0 -

The seller is in Essex and I'm in Newcastle so 'validating the vouchers' is not really an option. The total 'price' is £325 and £10 postage so you can see why I'm tempted but I'm naturally cautious when that much is involved. I have until tomorrow evening to accept or decline the offer so at the very least I'll sleep on it.Thanks.0
