$980 for 10 brand new psp's? do you think this is a scam? i just got a $1200 income tax return and would love to buy these and resell them. but i would hate to get scammed out of my money. the guy selling these has 12 positive feedbacks and no negatives, but it's all from other sellers. he doesnt have any feedback from buyers and that kinda worries me. what do you guys think?

I would suggest you NOT make that purchase. Personally, to see the PSP at that price...I'm telling you now, the stuff is hot! Use that money on something more worthwhile.

That has "scam" written all over it. Look closely at his feedback. Sure, all positives look good, but look at the actual items (when you even can). Can you say "buying for feedback?" Honestly, he bought a banana cake recipe, along with some other things that cost about a penny with free shipping

Wow, ya seriously, look what he's bought. And the picture looks way undetailed and shot with a horrible camera.

I was very bored and decided to look into this further...the person bought something from all these vendors for a penny. All of these vendors have penny auctions with free shipping and, of course, he didn't leave a reply on any of there pages either. Walk away!!!

I would even add he received all theses feedback in a period of 6 days + the box contains more than 10 psp too ... so.... RUN AWAY !

I reported this auction to ebay because it's more than obviously a scam.

I know this kind of scam... Around a bit after Christmas, my brother found what he thought was the best deal of the century. A brand new PSP, buy it now, $50. And wouldn't you know it, the seller has all good feedback

. My bro of course rushes to buy it after convincing my parents it was a good deal (I told him it was 90% most likely a scam and left it at that so he would learn a lesson while young.). Later, he find out it's a scam, ebay was nice enough to refund his money, and he learned a lesson.
(call me evil, but it was funny as hell to see him yelling and jumping after he thought he lost $50

)

Odd thing is, I know of three other people (in my town) who also got scammed on a PSP ebay deal. Don't buy a PSP off ebay!

Looks like a sucker was found! I already emailed the buyer warning them about the potential scam at hand.

To lose almost $1K like that...really sad!
