NOTE - There is a safety tip on eBay (in the security center) from Western Union. They recommend NOT using Western Union to send money to strangers (I.E. don't use it on eBay).. I hope no one gets stung on this deal. I am tempted to notify the bidder but I know better. Once in my early eBay days I did that when someone was representing a Crap-O-Phone as a genuine item. The 'buyer' sent me a scathing message saying to mind my own business or I would be reported to ebay, etc. I suspect it was the seller shilling his own auction with a secondary bidder name. Finally I have accepted the fact that I can't save everyone, no matter how much I would like to. It's every man for himself in the eBay world...

I think this may be a scam, photos that seller sent per my request look familiar, seller can't produce additional photos other than those he provided and wants Western Union payment in email to me...listing does not disclose location and there is no feedback. I am still trying to verify whether it's legitimate or not. Just giving you a heads up. If you have interest, maybe you should try and inqure more information from the seller before bidding. P.S. The seller just sent another e-mail saying he has a buyer that will do Western Union and is closing the auction......horible grammer and spelling...this is a scam listing, it's obvious by the emails I have gotten.
