does this smell like a SCAM to you ?

BEN-G

he put up a rare vinyl, that just about everyone in England knows is rare and expensive on discogs for 80 pounds... when its easily worth 200+, even 300+ to certain people

I asked for a pic of it..... nope

I asked if he has feedback on ebay or any forums... he said he's only a member of discogs

he said 85 pounds shipped to Canada for Special Delivery... i said its showing as more on Royal Mail website...

offered to send him 100 pounds by FEDEX next-day , insured and recorded delivery... just need his home address

he replies saying he only accepts paypal

so i'm offering him more money, cash with no paypal fees, yet he insists ?

red flag there... yes ?

I'd stear well clear! Seems very dodgy to me!

As the saying goes "if it seems to good to be true it normally is!" :|


Hope this helps!

He's only got one record for sale at £35 now.

It definitely smelt very dodgy from not accepting your offer of more money with a FEDEX transaction though.

his latest reply :

Seller changed status from Buyer Contacted to Cancelled (Item Unavailable)

SORRY THE VINYL IS SOLD IVE HAD A BETTER OFFER OF £110 AND IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE YOU WERE REALLY INTERESTED.

hope he gets banned there

why would someone ONLY be a member of Discogs for little more than a week, and yet be selling only two vinyls... one of which is extremely hard to come by

I told him, nice try with the scam

I am very leary about buying pricey records that are loads cheaper than they should be. However, I did just get a bit lucky on a copy of Morgan King-I'm Free on Btech. Paid 50 pounds for it, and recieved in the mail today. It was an ebay sale though. I would'nt do that on discogs with a new seller.
