    Why doesnt he just wait until she got the laptop from UK?

    Anyways.. tons of games and consoles, over 3000 games for $800.. Seems realy fishy.

    I say report them to EBAY. Their FB shows them buying small items and then all of a sudden selling Laptops and 1000's of games for all systems. Also the formatting is unprofessional and the vocab is like a kid's vocab.

    If it looks like a duck and smells like a duck ...

    This isn't just someone selling ROMs. When most sellers do that they kind of hint around at what you are really getting. They also go out of their way not to say certain things such as hardware is not included or all games are on 1 disc.

    This here is someone who is 1. either the dumbest seller ebay has ever known selling thousands of dollars of items for pennies on the dollar or 2. An outright lying thief. I doubt if the buyers will get anything at all. Look at these answers the seller has posted.


    Q: What exactly are you selling!! Actual systems or CD-rom games?? answered on: Mar-27-05
    A: actual systems

    Q: Do all of the games systems work? answered on: Mar-27-05
    A: yes all games systems work as do the games

    Q: What would shipping be to zip 29625? answered on: Mar-25-05
    A: i ship for free

    Anyone live in the area? Wonder what the seller would say if you wanted to stop by and verify the contents. I think I already know what they might say. it might go something like this.

    us: i represent a group of collectors very interested in you auctions. One of our members is very close by. Your deals seem almost too good to be believed. What what be a good time to stop by and verify the contents of these incredible auctions.
    seller: Items are shipping from England I do not have them on hand.
    us:Hmm where exactly in England we have members in England that also would love to purchase such a collection.

    seller: Did I say England I meant Nigeria.

    It cant be ROMs, atleast not the PSX games. They are either burned copies or most likely, they dont excist at all. Like.. free shipping for 3000 games should be enough to know its something fishy going on.

    i asked them if it is in fact roms, and i got a email back from soemone called "liam I'VE HAD ENOUGH" so they said it was not ROMS. i might go ahead and bid, since they specifically said it was the actual systems, and it turns out it's not, i could report them to eBay and get my money back and get them banned.

    Go for it ROCKY!

    We will all laugh at you when this first time seller gives you the runaround and cancels their paypal account. Good luck collecting if paypal can't collect. But hey, nothing ventured nothing gained. I'm sure this seller has ALL the games they have listed because....well they say they do. The only sale he has feedback for is a negative. I bet he is really worried his ebay account might be suspended too. No listing of games and no pictures. Ohh yeah all the games are new too. Why don't you add up how many games they currently have listed in each of these auctions first. Then go bidding. Don't be stupid. Stay away.
