I have been looking at that too. Don't know what to make of it, but certainly worth a punt for 99p and £4.99 delivered. It would be awesome if the current bidder got it for that even if it is a pile of crap!

Nigeria is not really known for electronics manufacturing. I thought all they made under licence was the AK47!

Not enough info to fully gauge this one. It may be too good to be true. The info he's provided seems really odd.

 

He also only has 1  feedback rating....hmmmmm

 

If he had a recent video of it playing....

looks tidy to me,the feedback makes it a cash on collection deal only..and if its a box of bolts you can still about turn and walk away.

True Bison, but recently a rash of robberies from cash/ pick-up scams have been surfacing from Craigslist/ Kijiji deals here.

 

People get promised something awesome, agree to meet  somewhere (mostly areas without a lot of people and the seller brings friends and roll the buyer for his cash before any sale happens.

 

Mostly to car stereos and such.

 

Excercise caution...if it is what it is...Great!! If not protect yourself..meet somewhere public for pickup !!!

Wise!

 

Also hide your cell phone somewhere. When these robberies do take place, they also grab your phone so you can't call for help.

 

 

Just be carefull everyone......The old adage is true...If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

I for one wouldn't miss the seagulls if he happened to hit a few

 

That's called "Public Service"    JK

I'm peeking at that too - it's not so far from where I work.

I might email about local pickup - that usually weedles out the dodgy sellers...
