agreed. If hes really interested in buying it for that much then he would bid on eBay when asked to do so.

hmm

i would have done it if the user had feedback but he joined today and has no feedback...also he is located in singapore..... sounds fraudulent

Its actually not safe if you do 'off auction' type sales. Basically you're not covered if he doesnt pay etc plus singapore postage is very high.  Oh infact! when i sold mine i got message from people in Africa asking will they sell it for me, i think they were fraud type so i just didnt.

If he sends you the money first, then do it .

Well if all seems okay, and you get the money before hand, and no more offers, then go for it

Good luck

well this is what is says on his 'profile' when i checked it this mornig
"No longer a registered user
Member since: 30-Jun-05
Location: Singapore"
plus ebay always says to finish the transaction throug them.
is just not safe...only if u get the money first then u can rip him off

anyone know what 'no longer a registered member' means i dont get how his profile would be there then...
