Last feedback in 2008, and all of a sudden he started selling again, amazing deals! Hmmmm... Check his other auction as well might be interesting to see how this unfolds!

They've just posted this address as well.. But state they dont have a company reg number..

Unit 4 Row 75 Howard Street South Great Yarmouth Nofolk NR30 2PU. The company is not registered.

The company details may also be completely seperate to this listing if the account has been compromised, if the last use was in 2008!

you only have a reg number if your limited/plc.

maybe it is legit...

Like I said though, it's a legit company by the looks of it, but what's to say that the ebid profile if anything to do with it, or not an old profile that has been compromised.

I think you you take in to account, he wont allow pickup without payment through ebid, he supports 2 payment methods, one will only allow up to £100 for new users (so counts this out in most cases, and even if not, you can't use he escrow option) or bank transfer direct in to his account, which gives you no opportunity for refund!

It's got dodgy written all over it!

but look at his website, he has them listed on there (for a cheaper price). It does seem iffy & his replies arent business like. Being second hand
they are more likely refurbs  & he managed to secure a deal with dell or someone.

I was going to point out yesterday, it was also a 7 day wait as well, that would give him plenty of time to run off with your cash.
