mmm looks dodgyer than dodgy mc dodge on a particularly dodgy day in dodge town!

for a start what is a 'WDP Angel A4 Milenium PAINTBALL'

has anyone else ever heard the word milenium use with anything to do with the a4? also it doesnt actually tell you in the description what is for sale....ok yes ther is a nice description of an a4 but it tells you nothing about the actual item.....then i look back at the title and the scam jumps out at you he is selling a PAINTBALL. and if contested id be willing to bet that his arument is that this paintball is suitable for use with an a4.

is like the x-box box trick that loads of people fell for you get an x shaped box or a box with an x drawn on it or the box an xbox came in etc.......

stay away!

Does seem strange about the location...wouldnt agree with the Paintball commemt from Jahlad, tho its a possibility, it helps people looking for Paintball stuff to find that add.
Tho he's right about the Millenium ting...and are they known as IR4's?
The main thing I was gonna say is that that price is the bid price at that time...have you mailed for the buy it now price?

 

[Ms Bossy]

I've mailed him for the serial number.....you never know

sounds like ****e to me...£400? addy in Dijon france registered in Austraia...lives in UK??
2 days with UPS my arse!!

 

[jahlad]

its well known that internet frawdsters use western union...something to do with it being impossible to get a refund for one reason or another as wu wont give the details of the account holder etc.....

in short its definatly a con

unless you can meet the guy and pay im in person and personally recive the marker forget about it......as i said before....dodgy

tell him for 400 quid ill buy ten, pick them up and pay cash on delivery.....see how fast he runs

 

[Skeet]

then tell him that he might as well give up..because its a con...and youve just told anyone who might be likely to buy one that its a con!

 

[JoseDominguez]

Tell him I want thirty, I'll bung on £50 profit and sell them back to WDP who can then sell them on for there own profit.
In short BOLLOX.
Free international shipping?
Free return shipping?

SO basically £400 for the marker..........say £40 to ship it.....then another £40 to return it. If he's genuine then he's also an idiot.

Its a rip off. All of these guys on Ebay ask for a money transfer to somewhere abroad using Western Union. Email him and ask if he'll use Escrow: he will refuse. I've started getting a number of unsolicited bids via ebay recently. If you lose an auction on, say, a TV, someone emails you and says "hey, i've got a plasma screen for 200 quid...just send the money to,...." When you start asking questions they lose interest or get shirty.

Avoid like the plague!!
