Good deal on a new akra...

Whole akra evo system with carbon tips brand new.

Not affiliated but thought I'd pass it on, maybe try and pick it up cash for you New York folk!

is it just me or does that look like a scam?
low feedback rate
nothing in the recent 12 months
and the feedback is mixed as seller and buyer

out of nowhere, the user lists a bunch of expensive car parts

I contacted them, they confirmed it was a header back complete system. Their website leaves much to be desired but they've had an account with eBay for 20 years. You'd get buyer protection through PayPal and eBay always side with the buyer too. I wouldn't be concerned. Although I currently am in a dispute with a seller on eBay who shipped me an empty box 😂 and is refusing to accept my return.

If someone's local to Toronto they could try and pick it up cash for a steal.

Also the recent feedback on big $$$ items are all "Best Offer Price was Accepted". They could have have made a second account offered a $1 and made it look like they sold previous high priced items.

SAMMY I wouldn't go giving weird sellers like this free advertising. Could he not be a scammer? Sure, but I operate by if there is any doubt, there is no doubt. Better to be safe than sorry.

In New York, but spells fiber “fibre”. Not necessarily a scam, but that’s also consistent with someone overseas pretending to have stock stateside.
