I really want this cart, because i finally have enough money to buy it. But from someone with a zero feedback rating, who's user name is "rrobbers"?

I mailed him. I asked what kind of insurance he would offer me; that he was trust worthy. But i got no reply. I really want this, but I'm too scared to bid.

That's the chance you take with ebay. If you win I'd be interested to know how your transaction goes.

if he (0 feedback) doesn't reply to your emails then your instinct should be not to bid.

i too wanted to bid on this but i have decided not to. who the hell chooses rrobbers as a seller name? he didn't reply to my e-mail either.

given his seller name...I would not bid. Is he trying to say that they "R Robbers?" hmm...

Could be worse, could be "IRobU" or "Rip U. Off".

Hah! I kill me!

Wow it went for $305 I mean the last one up on ebay went for around that but the last seller also had a couple hundred feedback.

Well, seller name doesn't necessarily mean anything. I bought from a guy called bleedyoudry and it was fine, he even gave me a break on the shipping. He had feedbacks though...

I would have bought from them if I had paypal because if he rips you off with paypal and he is confirmed you simply fill out a form and boom the money comes back to you

Get this: I mailed the top bidder, about 12 hours before it was going to end, and asked him this:
"I really want to bid, but i just dont trust this guy. Has he answered any of your e-mails? I sent, he did not reply. His name is "rrobbers" after all, i just dont
trust it. Did he say anything to you? or anything like that?
thanks

He replied:
"to be honest the person is a friend of mine, since the bidding is terrible (I told him to let me do it) I am going to relist it for him."
By this time the auction was at 135. It ended at 305, with in fact the same bidder that i talked to. So i wouldnt be surprised to see this game back up on ebay within the next week. But don't take it, it's mine!!!
he he he

isnt this "shill bidding". having someone bid up your auction because the bidding is "terrible"?

Uh, yeah it is, and if I were you, I'd report that guy. It's disgusting when people use friends to manipulate bids like that, and DEFINITELY against eBay's rules of conduct. You should be sending that email you recieved on to eBay.
