When I saw one on Craigslist for $600 or so, I emailed saying I was interested, but, "why is the price so low?" This was the response I got (from irene.ss.miller@gmail.com):
Hello,
My name is Irene Miller and I am now in London UK, the reason why I listed this ad in your local area is because a friend told me that I would get a better price and faster deal there than here in London and I am more than happy to ship it to you for free. The item is in perfect condition barely used for a few hours so I wouldn't mind calling it brand new. Obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal without worrying about the safety of your money or my item. The best way I could think of is to use a shipping company that will also act as an escrow service and found one with quite a good name. I chose to use TNT WorldWide Transaction, a subsidiary of the well known(at least here in europe) TNT. Using their services your money will be safe with them until you receive and check the product and I will rest assured that I'll get paid if you like and decide to keep the item. Also the company will provide you with 5 to 7 days to test the item and make sure you're making the right decision. Please let me know what you think so I can explain to you the transaction steps in detail.
Man, screw that. I found one on craigslist for $800!! It will arrive any day now... I was so lucky to email the person first!
ReplyDeleteumm...
ReplyDeleteyou didn't seriously think someone would shave $2800 off of the retail price for a unit still in (limited) production, did you?

For your sake I hope you haven't sent this joker any money yet; otherwise you're gonna be waiting a long, long time for it to arrive. Caveat emptor.
I would contact CL, and the FBI next step...
good luck.
