Yeah, the person has all positive feedbacks, but that's how they get you.
$300 starting bid, money order, and checks only, says she can provide picture, then says her cord is broken for her digital camera because of her children and cannot upload pics. Uh-huh. Gameplayerz? How old is this woman to spell players with a z in the end?
What do you guys think?

Little known fact, you don't have to have the original cable that came with your camera to upload photos. Most computers come with a memory card reader. Take the photos, take the memory card out and plug it into your computer. Problem solved :roll:

Most computers come with a card reader is a false statment I'd say maybe 20% do, although they are a cheap external add-on. I work in the field and they are not all that common.

It isnt sure that she have a new computer either. The memorycard readers that includes with computers are a fairly new thing. But anyway, she said she could provide pics and a wise buyer will demand pics before paying :)

Memory card reader or not, I'd be very hesitant to send $300+ via a money order to anybody unless they had a much higher feedback rating or they agreed to a local pickup.
Sometimes I'll email a seller and ask if they'd be allow a local pickup even if they were on the other side of the country just to hear when their answer would be. They don't know where I live.
She has good feedback. I'd trust her.
I don't call 100% of 37 a good feedback, it isn't bad if he had a photo but without I wouldn't send him my money!

I'm willing to bet case is cracked and shrinkwrap is probably falling off. But other than that it is stated insurance is included in shipping. Just have that check tracked and have all information, name, address, phone number available at your ready.

Oh yeah, my bad, I guess I was refering to the new computers that we sell at CompUSA, they all seem to have the memory card readers now. But I cannot even tell you how many people come in looking for a cable for there camera. We don't have cables for most cameras but we show them the card readers and it turns out to be the best thing they have ever seen.
