He is stating up to 7 days delivery gives him enough time to clear his account and run with the money. Although i am tempted to buy one and then hold off paying him until feedback starts to get left for the PS3s.

Good Idea

Have committed to a purchase, but will hold off paying for a bit too.

One bought for me though not paid yet either.

Well, if it is genuine he might wan't immediate cash and you might not have the chance to wait for any feedback.

It's a close call, personally.

Everyone seems to be assuming that the Consumer Credit Act will protect them yet this only applies to items purchased from a pucka business. If this vendor turns out to be a private seller then you'll have no come-back whatsoever via the credit card company.

Some one changed their mind and he gave full refund mm prob his mate

so after ebay and paypal fees hes selling ps3s for 100 quid ?

theres no way this is anything other than a scam. most likely an account hijack. anyone asked the seller a question and got a reply ?

£125 is the same price as a blu-ray player. I need a blu-ray player anyway, so am pretty tempted to get this. I probably won't play many games on it but you never know!

The 7 day delivery seems a little fishy tho, I'll hold off until feedback appears... Maybe e-mail him and ask if collection is ok?

Also, doesn't he have to wait until positive feedback has been left before the funds are cleared from PayPal?

I have had refund from credit card company form a private seller when some knob tried to take me for £255 on a mobile phone.

Strife212 · 18 Jun 2009 at 23:27

He's made £33,750 from these

This was posted elsewhere came across it in google..
Its on a ps3 forum i take it i can post the link?

muzzler · 18 Jun 2009 at 23:30

blimey i'm tempted, but after being scammed before on ebay i think i'll hold back!
The cheapest i've seen 80g ps3's going for is damaged boxed ones for £224.99

wiltonson · 18 Jun 2009 at 23:31

Noticed all the stuff he sold previously are very cheap <£20. Now all a sudden he's selling stuffs that are over £100 and yet at half the RRP. Smells fishy to me but very very tempting

KennyBhoy · 18 Jun 2009 at 23:32

Bidder 25 has bought 10 :eek:

My common sense just keeps repeating "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is"

"andy" · 18 Jun 2009 at 23:33

even if they where off the back of a lorry why would he sell them so cheap ? all it does is draws attention to himself

Strife212 · 18 Jun 2009 at 23:33

If I knew for a fact it was genuine I would probably buy 10 as well

Kempster · 18 Jun 2009 at 23:34

Sent the seller a message but heard nothing back yet.. Was gonna ask if the seller would take cash on collecting
