Looks dodgy to me. If you check his feedback, although he has 20 positive, they are all left in the last 2 days, and all conveniently private. I go by the rule if it seems too good to be true, it usually is,

Tempting at £50 if you pay through paypal you could always get your money back?!

You don't always get your money back when you pay by paypal.

I managed to get £20 back but the item cost £40 previously.

Apparently they had zero balance in there bank account ????

If you read the bottom of the photo of one of the warehouse shots, it says that the buy it now price is just for the url of the website that sells custom clearance stuff.

Quite a lot of the feedback was left within minutes of each other too..Complete con!

But don't you only get your money back if there is any money in the account to actually get back?

right, the big thing that tells me it is a con, isn't the 20 feedbacks left in 2 days, is that ALL those private buyers have zero feedback, and all created their accounts on the same day.... hmmm

It's a con all the buyers in the feedback have very similiar user names i.e. they all use names no number nicknames etc and they are all created on the same day or next day and the one negative feedback is another sign that this seller is a criminal.

Trust me my day job is a trading standards officer. Thanks for the tip off.
