Prob risky, but worth a look maybe?

320082725592

Like I said, could be risky, but those of you that are mre experienced might be interested. If I could even afford it.. i'd have a go for it, but just in case someone's interested, pity he's a new ebayer...

  • The bit where he says he's been messed about in the past and the 0 feedback are a mite worrying, what was his previous feedback like? Don't think I'd go for this one even if I could have afforded it.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    No it's not worth the risk.

    No feedback, cash into a bank account, you might as well throw your money out the window and be done with it.

    He's probably genuine but there's no way I'd use a bank transfer to pay a newbie like that.
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

    i wouldn't risk it even if the seller had more feedback

    cash into bank account is too risky, no protection whatsoever
  • just asked if he would take cash on collection...his answer should decide how genuine he is
  • But read his description .. he's clearly only wanting to appeal to a niche market .....

    "GREAT FUN FOR THE HOLE FAMILY"

    Wonder if Mr and Mrs Hole will want it???????????

    Sorry, couldn't resist .... schools today ... etc etc :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rotfl:

  • borehamcomputers only has a feedback of 652, not the 2000+ claimed. And why say that you used to be that seller, and then in the next sentence say "BUT I SURPOSE EVERY BODY HAS TO START SOMEWHERE AT SOME POINT", it doesn't add up.

    What's more, the spelling alone would put me off this. :p
