Description
The listing, MP3 Player has ended.
Its a black MP3 player. I don't have a charger because i lost it but it still works. It has a few minor scratches in the back but it didn't matter to me. I would like it if the winner picked the item up locally because I cannot afford much but I'll try my best to send the item. Delivery may take up to 1-2 weeks.
Note that this 'Seller' (Whoever it is pretending to be the girl in the avatar photo) keeps Hiding my comments in reference to these facts. The person behind this has Intentionally used this girl's photo to "Mislead" people into thinking she is the seller.
This one is really strange to me because the seller has SEVERAL ipod-type listings running at the moment and racking up some big numbers - but whoever the seller is, they are running on the past reputation of a single sale on a 'broken' pair of headphones and (MOST CONCERNING) are using as an avatar a photo apparently lifted from an Asian tattoo site... (Meaning the seller is NOT the person pictured here....)
There is mention in these listings about not having money to ship and prefering local collection (a common scammer throw-off tactic), but then there are big announcements in several of these listings about how the seller just bought new power adapters and a bunch of cool cases for these items - which they will also give to you in this sweet deal if you will just bid more-more-more!
"Bid HIGHER!! i just bought a charger, 2 more sets of cases and 2 more sets of earphones. Bid High and they will all be provided!!"
Call it what you want - but this simply does NOT add up well. It REEKS of a scam, to me. People do not go from offering a free pair of broken ipod headphones (with a $7.99 shipping charge!) to throwing around a half dozen free ipods and phones, etc. - and then go buy chargers, cases, and addtional sets of headphones to go with them.
And why use a picture stolen from a tattoo site to mislead people into thinking it is you...?
