I'm always hesitant to get anything on eBay.

 

[Sandroni]

I realllllllly doubt its true.

 

[miyags]

LOL!!! Free shipping from China,And you'll get it before Christmas.

They’ll send you a picture of it

Well first off if you look at the history of the "vendor"...oh wait there is none, so that is a huge red flag. Make sure you are only doing business with people that have a valid business with reviews, and I am not talking like 1 or 2. I only buy from folk on R2R that have auctions or that have 100% happy customers over several months/last year.

There is no way it could make that trip, and survive for that long via post, can it?

A couple days ago,they had a Walt Disney acro.What a joke!!!. Can these guys be shut down?

That definitely looks like a scam. The seller has no reviews and is being shipped from China for free! like some one else said you may just end up with that exact picture

Or a skeleton on a frag plug.

SCAMMERS. Man, they know what we want.

 

[LadyMac]

That’s a shame. Why can’t people be honest. How can they live with theirselves. Blah.

It's a scam. I "bought" a Tunze Stream 3 new for $25. My money was refunded when it never arrived.

eBay can be strange... There were several WWC auctions that ended this Monday at ~$200 for pretty common frags. Not saying the seller or the listings were illegitimate, but it was odd to see frags going for that much when they are readily available on the WWC website and elsewhere for ~$70
