Be careful out there guys. there are tons of scmas out there. It seems in the last six months there has been an explosion of fraud. I guess nothing will happen until the offenders appreahended(sp).

$400, it's gotta be a scam, or it's stolen.

Did you pay the man for the dust-fade IR3? It costs a bundle to use Western Union, BTW.

Well, the starting bid is usually the minimum you're willing to let it go for...usually.

Also this guy just registered Mar 14th, and he's in Canada, although the address given is Cleveland...no feedback/first sale to boot. My scam-alert is buzzing!

And who knows, maybe the dude won it in a tourney, and he's just trying to get some quick cash...

You pays your money, and you takes your chances :)

The city says Brampton, that would be here in Ontario, Canada. I'm actually going up near Brampton next week for a tournament.

He posted a picture of the serial number. SHouldn't be hard to track down.

Email him, see if he'll agree to third party. If you guys can gimme proof of the scam, I'll win the auction with my anti-scam account.
