So the seller is a member registered in Canada, the item location is Beijing, China, will post to N. and S. America, Europe, Australia, but then in the description it says they live in South Ealing, London



WTF is going on there then

I wanna bid on it, but I am worried that cos it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn't

probably hacked his account and using it, they wont accept cash on pick up, ie will only send once you've transfered the cash, never to see it or the screen again.

AVOID
