500$ for 100 iPod nanos? It says in description 2,500$ for 100 iPod nanos also.

Are they going to charge a shit load for shipping?

probably a ton for shipping...

or they fell of the back of a truck, if you catch my drift.

yea looking at about 20k when all his auctions are done. I would be surprised if anyone gets what they think they paid for.

Plus you will note they are all one day auctions. The true sign of a scam, no time for ebay to react and yank.

At least the "seller" replies quickly roll . I asked about shipping costs...

[quote4758989c52]My item is brand new, unopened box all accessories included and also an international warranty.

First I am going to tell you some things I think you
should know before ending this deal.

I travel a lot and now I am in Eastern Europe. The
item is going to be shipped from europe also. Now, I can ship through UPS air next day delivery. I will pay for all
taxes. If you wish you can also send me your full shipping info so I can
make a reservation on your name .

The price of 50 ipod`s is $2500 and $4000 for 100 (as I said earlier with shipping and insurance taxes included). I need some money as fast
as possible so I am offering a 10 % discount if we end the deal in 24
hours.

Here I am stuck to western union wire transfer. I can't use paypal
because it's not available yet. Just because of this I set up an insurance
with ebay which guaranties 100 % of this deal. If you wish I can contact
eBay right away and have them send you an invoice with my insurance.

If you agree on my terms I am sure we can close the deal right now.
Please reply after you think it over.

Best regards.

LMFAO total scam, here is ebays policy on insurance

[quoteff652d5b56]eBay does not offer an insurance program. However, both eBay and PayPal offer members comprehensive programs that provide protection against loss from non-delivery or misrepresentation for most purchases.
PayPal Buyer Protection
This program provides enhanced coverage up to $1,000 with no processing fee on qualifying items when you pay with PayPal.
To check if an item qualifies for this program, look for the following image in the "seller information" section of the listing, and click "See eligibility."[/quoteff652d5b56]

And there buyer protection plan
[quoteff652d5b56]eBay's Standard Purchase Protection Program, where they may be reimbursed up to $200 (minus a $25 processing cost).Additionally, if the eBay Trust and Safety team believes further action is warranted, the seller's account may be restricted or suspended.[/quoteff652d5b56]

This is nothing but a scam with no way to retrieve monies. Once you send western union say good bye. Then cry to ebay and get $200 back.

Worse thing is someone will probably fall for it.

Before I read all of your posts the first thing I noticed was
Listed in categorySports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop > Cards > Racing-Other

Honestly, who looks there for iPod Nanos?
That's a lot of expensive shit he's selling.

I have to agree with Admin, the guy has a near perfect feedback too, must have been recently jacked.

I wish there was an icon / emoticon to grant someone the title "Captain Obvious," since those exact sentiments have been posted in this thread.

Just wondering, in returns he says

[quote7e67e302ce]Look over the item photo carefully, and read the description.[/quote7e67e302ce]

There wouldn't be something hidden in one of the pictures or anything would there ?

I agree with Admin, the posting style differs drastically both in product and content from the 6 day auctions that are posted. The previous auctions are plain and detailed, no colors, no fonts sizing, just plain text. Also the auctions are listed as being in California, but he's in Europe right now and brought all those iPods with him?

I've talked to this guy via email, I was looking at that Pioneer Navigation system for my car, would be a killer deal, but way too good to be true, he's already had a few auctions canceled under suspicion of fraud, and his emails are almost impossible to decypher.

Well I reported the seller ID to eBay using live chat and it's been taken care of...so you guys aren't going to get to win. Sorry, I've always been no-fun and a buzzkill like that.
