    Default 700 Different NES Games Lot on ebay (Questionable Seller)

    Read the description on this auction!! The guy has made a seperate account to start selling nintendo games when he has an account with 150+ postives active & in good standing?? Does this look legit or is it a scam?? Thought the buy and sell would be a good place for this as if it is legit he has the rest of the NES set being sold in singles also. Kinda fishy though, Make sure you feel confident in bidding before jumping on any of these:

    So what do you guys think? Is this a scam??

    Scam. He's in Ohio and lists it on Ebay Canada. Scam.

    It is listed on eBay US, the o/p was looking at it on eBay.ca...

    It looks like a scam though, especially the "you must pay before picking them up" part...

    I agree, it really looks like a scam to me as well. The fact that he wants payment before you pick it up is VERY sketchy! If I won the 700 game auction, I would get his address and just show up to his house with the money with me. There is no way I would get scammed for that much cash.

    i agree with imanerd0011. I would pay on pick up. Wouldnt pay that big amount of money to a seller who have 0 feedback.

    I truly feel sorry for the poor fool who wins this auction, he is gonna be getting scammed big time! Like you guys said, if I was selling such an auction I would use my name with 150 100% feedback, not make a new account, what an idiot. Pay before pick up?

    Hes about 2 hours away from me but pay before pickup is so sketchy, and why would you ever leave an account with 150+ feedback?

    I would just ask him if it's ok for cash on delivery. Explain how you're a interested collector and you have the money. If he denies you it must be a scam !!!

    I really feel bad for the people bidding on this stuff. He has tons of other items, don't know if anyone's looked through them, but he has the exact same picture of the NES Aladdin Deck Enhancer set with all the games that another user has and it's bid up to about 80 bucks. A lot of the other games are getting bid up pretty high as well. Hopefully this guy doesn't run off with a bunch of free money.

    Truthfully the pictures are legit looking, and if it is a few different people from cleveland that I know, then it would definitely be fine to bid.
