Strange Auction On Ebay

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Some naughty boy is selling Imdaar Alpha packs...

" I am a third party seller, when purchasing this you agree to allow me to give out your address to the individual who will then send you the items in question. Your money will be forwarded to him. "

Yeah. Don't think so .

Sounds incredibly dodgy - and probably funding the Hutts' criminal empire

Seemsv real sketchy to me.

Yep, as if the low feedback wasn't enough, the entire "I am placing this auction on behalf of someone else, your money will be sent to them" spiel is really concerning.

I really don't think waiting a week or so for the Wave 4 ships to officially be released is worth the risk, tbh...

Well i did buy my Tie Defender from a guy in UK on Ebay who

had all 4 new ships for sale... And it was to expensive for me to pick up all 4 but the Tie Defender showed up last week at my place..

Does seem a little shady. Shouldn't those have been given away as prizes at AoIA? How did one guy get 5 whole tournament kits?

Could be legit, but probably not worth the risk over waiting just a little longer.

Trying to run a con through eBay is a major idiot move. Even if one twit takes the bait, eBay themselves aren't idiots and will find out what's going on as soon as an item dispute comes up.

Im sitting on 3 Headhunters, 4 Ewings, 1 defender and 2 phantoms atm... Im just checking with the bloke I got it from if its him...

Well.. and then he posts in the description the real seller who has an eBay account?

Why he cant sell it then him/herself?

Ya sure.. oh and btw.. we also sell the deathstar on ebay which is wave 9 preview item..

I ask for ONLY $99 and my friend in Ankara will send it to you then... after i payed the guy in Indonesia who is actually selling the item...

Wow!

Oh, and there's a £2,000 handling fee to get it through customs but we'll refund it plus an extra £500 for your trouble when the transaction clears. Cash only, leave it in a plastic bag in this waste paper bin at 3am. Don't forget that!

Easy, Chewie...

All In favour say "Eeeeaglllle!"

I got this email, the son of a former Nigerian diplomat is selling his X-Wing collection of 10 of every ship. All he needs is a $100 cashiers check so it clears customs.

all I can say is, Lando would not approve....
