what i meant it that once there is proof these ipods are real. aka i get them and take pic of whatever you need. i will need the paypal payment first in the ipods.

What's the stance on payment though?? Cuz if you have to send money to him first, I can almost guarantee you'll never see your money again.

what "proof" are you getting though, that's what I'm wondering. Is he sending pics to you? the first order first??

I sure hope this is true... I just can't see how .... lol

I would definetly be into that, just take a pic of all the ipods, at least a few of them on with ur name in the picture... then ill believe it

what he is saying is that.. if he tries it and it works, then if he orders for other people he will have to get your payment first then after he recieves the ipods he will send payment. this is just so that he doesn't have to get money last second!

i sent the order an ill pay 2 days after the order is recived. he hasnt resopned since he is in italy

i think this guy from italy is saying that he will send em to boxgame first but boxgame wants us to send him the money before he ships to us? which is understanable

so what happens if boxgame orders some guy 10 ipods then the guy never pays him..boxgame gets screwed out of a grand? or does the money go to boxgame before he gets the ipods but after his first order so we kno that he has them?

this shit is way ti confusing for me, lol, just get my ipods,

yeah basically after proof is in place you will pay first then i will place an order of ipods. exactly so im not out a few grand.

well if this works after i sell the 10 i ordered which i could probally do in a week at my school ill be wanting about 30 more lol

haev u asked him about condition, facotry sealed or not, or about warently or what happens if they dont work?
thanks

they are supposidly factory with a 1 year warranty.

I love buying stuffs online. Lol.

after the 2 i want 30 , then this guy has to get PSP's cheaaa

lol

please don't waste your money

ya to me its one of those sounds to go to be true and sucks that its not

:\

I worked it out with him to send payment AFTER i get the ipods.

Wondering, Boxgamex80: your refs?

lol does eem kinda sketch when u see that

i never bothered to write them down but i can geta list if you need it.

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?

Yeah, if he never sent the iods id refund the money. No problem there.

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.

well brahm not to make fun of you but sometimes you have to take risks. Thats what im doing with this first batch

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.

So if this first order does go through what about another order? Will you do one?

thanks, sam here. but since its a privat person for the 1st batch no one in the thread but me can be scammed. If i gave back the money i got then how would i be out of money?

do u know if this guy has an unlimited supply or is he limited?

not sure. cant contact him right now. but ill ask later

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.

THis is a scam

I understand, you could come out very well on top. But I hate seeing people ripped off.

http://home1.gte.net/johnfull/n242.htm -> Basic Tips for Spotting Possible Fraud
Please at least skim the first points. Later on it only talks about eBay but the first part is relevant for everything.

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.

yeah, you make a good point like usual brahm. but i guess human desire is really right because i feel complelled too complite this first batch. oh well cheers the being scammed (maybe>?)

my dad sells lots of stuff on ebay....... and he gets messages from people to sell things and they will pay via Western Union and they are located all over the world..... i think this is a giant scam........

rule of thumb: international deals + western union: WALK AWAY!

P-p-p-powerbook! http://www.p-p-p-powerbook.com/

i do remeber the p-p-ppowerbook. wish they had the ending though. and that was an escrow site the guy ran. so he had total control of everything on their.

I can't believe this thread is still going. All you must be extremely illogical and/or gullible to even entertain the thought that this might be legit. Even if this person wanted to dump all these ipods they would do it on ebay in lots. That would maximize his profit and be just as easy to do. Of course if you look on Ebay this very person is doing just that, but just another venue for him to scam. This person is going to ask you to pay some of the order, pay for bank fees, shipment fees or some other BS reason.

I'm going to just close this.

Boxgamer - if you actually get ipods to sell - feel free to sell them here as long as there are no gimmicks attached. But please be careful with your money and investments!!
