    Scam or not?

    I have been looking for a back-up marker to the X. The Impy isn't cutting it! I found this a-4. I emailed the guy and agreed to a price of $800.00.

    He is no longer in FLorida as his profile on e-bay states. He is now in Munich, Germany. Therefore I tell him I will buy it so long as we use escrow.com. He emails me back saying he has good feedback and wants to use western union. I tell him no way.

    Any AOers over in Munich that could help with this transaction would be apreciated!

    So what do you guys think?

    Scam or no?

    Either way I am not sending money via western union to anyone in Germany!! I guess I'll just have to pass on this great deal!

      Yeah, three definate warning signs:

      -Will not use escrow

      -Wants to use western union

      -overseas

      I'd avoid this one like the plague.

          Offer to pay the escrow fee, and if he says no then it is a scam, and even if it isn't steer clear of him.

              Western Union is the sure give away. Do not buy from him.

                      I would rather chew tin foil while grinding my head with a cheesegrater than send $800 for this deal.

                              Sounds to me like he took over somebodys ebay account. Its not worth the risk.
