Default Ebay advice

Hello all,

have a look at this Ebay seller and tell me what you think,

I saw this stereo and it seems a good deal, but after looking at his/her feedback and the stuff they are selling makes me wonder.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alpine-IDA-X30...item230512f590

What do you think?

Thanx in advance

Sime

He's selleing items for others to beat the minimum feedback requirement from ebay for higher value goods.


He /she may be a genuine seller or a scammer, it's impossible to say yet.
18 or so higher value items for sale by the same seller and only Registered Dec 2009.

I wouldn't want to be the first to buy a high value item from them.

to be honest that wouldn't worry me, i think he's used a few auctions just to give himself more 100 percent feedback but there is plenty more on it that are happy. i did this when i first started on ebay to get myself to 10, but i'm well honest.
