Just found these fantastic bargains today on ebay. 47" TV..HDTV 3d, with. 8 pairs of glasses...£104..free shipping! The latest ipad and nexus 7,s, same kind of prices! He only has 12 feedback....100%, for selling low price items. He is called flyster3
I smell a scam, especially as another seller galaxy.samsung was doing identical items, at identical prices on friday....they were sold out in 2 hours. This seller also had great feedback....for selling very cheap items.
I cant see how they could be sold so cheap, especially with free shipping!
I wanted to alert ebay, but they only provide a form to fill in with how ebay rules are being broken by the seller...no rules are being broken here,but something just doesn't feel right! He must have made a few 1000's already today!
Is this a common scam?

You've posted virtually the same post on the ebay board too.0

Yes. I didn't know which board was best to post on, so I did both. Hope I am not breaking any rules, sometimes when I am new to a board I worry about getting told off for some accidental demeanor!0

This is the 42" tv. Check out his other stuff..he is selling so much so fast! X0 -
I am watching the seller galaxy.samsung, that I mentioned before. He sold a load of identical items...last friday, all gone in 2 hours. I am waiting to see if his feedback reflects my opinion that he is a scammed! Mind you, if everyone gets their stuff I will be kicking myself for missing out! X0
