Default Is this a scam?

vortech sc

So I think this is an awesome deal. He replies to me and says he will take $2300 shipped for this charger and just to paypal him the money outside of ebay.

He only has 1 feedback, but is listing 6 others SC kits. I paypal has some buyer insurance and so does my visa card, but if it is a scam Id rather not go through all the hassle.

I wrote back asking him to put a "buy it now" option so I could go through ebay for the purchase and to email me picks of the actual box with todays newspaper next to it. I will see if he responds to that.

This is about $1300.00 less than the best new price seen so far. If it's for real, it's one helluva bargain. But it's hard to tell. Buyer beware!

yeah I think it looks too good to be true. It looked suspicious from the start, and he has avoided a lot of my questions.

I dont think I will be getting any pics, unless he is really good at photoshop.

That is a scam,

that supercharger with picture will come up about once every 4-6 months. That is about the 4th time I have seen it and I report the guy and get his posts removed everytime!

In case you didnt know, Ebay clearly warns you to never Pay someone via paypal outside of the auction.

EMAIL him and ask if he will do it via www.escrow.com and you pay all the asociated fees (he even saves money).
