I get that you are paying him after you receive the first batch.
I just want to know when YOU want payment for the next round of orders. If you want me (for example) to pay you before you ship to me, fine. You could send pics or similar for proof. I'd be very wary of sending money before he shipped though. I think you should be wary also. What if I (again, for example) send you money for Ipods, and you then order from this guy in Italy. He never ships them. Now I'm going to go after YOU because I paid you, not the guy.... this would be bad for you obviously. If I paypal'd you, I have a legitimate case against YOU, not the guy in Italy. Now you're screwed out of how much money.... Get what I mean? |

QUOTE(Boxgamex80 @ Feb 27 2005, 08:32 PM) Okay.. then think about it this way. Why would you risk losing several thousand dollars of your own money to MAYBE receive a lot of iPods that you will be reselling to Xbox-Scene members, when you could *not* risk losing several thousand dollars, and just spend a few hundred on an iPod? Also, as mentioned above, the fact that you're dealing through WESTERN UNION across INTERNATIONAL borders basically means you can get fucked over several different ways. If you're convinced this this legit, by all means, place your orders... but take a few days to think about it at least. You could lose a LOT of money. |

QUOTE(Boxgamex80 @ Feb 27 2005, 10:39 PM) That's a great gesture, but then you'd be out money. That's not really fair to you.. which is partially my point. I stand by that this is a scam, but if it works out, awesome. I just hope you (or others) don't get scammed. |

Thats what im doing with this first batch YEAH MAN SOMETIMES I JUST CLOSE MY EYES ON THE HIGHWAY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!! /sarcasm Take the case of an ipod mini, the high price of the 4gb of flash memory alone shows that this can't be real. Not to mention the marketing and accessorys. I couldnt find exactly how much it costs apple to make each ipod mini, but the shuffle has only a 40% profit margin. http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/02/24/business/ipod.html THis is a scam |

Another page: http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...rid=**general** # Why This Scam Works: This scam plays on the human desire to get as much for nothing as possible. # Western Union is NOT a secure way to transfer money. No ID is required to pick up a Western Union payment, only the transfer ID number. # People hear "Free [or cheap] Shipping", knowing that it must be expensive to ship express from overseas. The buyer is thus more than happy to pick up the relatively small Western Union fee. |
