Buyer Beware or If It'sToo Good To Be True.......

[Mr onetwo]

Here is a link to a huge EBay scam over on Garage Journal http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=294389 It involves Miller 211 Mig welders at a too good to be true price. The progression of emotions over the thread is amazing! From this:woohoo::beerchug:to this:cussing::crybaby2:Be careful out there kids....it's a scary world we live in!!! P.S. I almost pulled the trigger on one myself

Holy crap. 43 pages! What did it say?

tl;dr version = eBay seller in Canada with approx 150 feedbacks suddenly sells $150k - $200k worth of welders in less than 48 hours. The seller claims free shipping to the US and no duty fees. The first 40ish pages were people either bragging about their great deal or arguing with the handful of people suspecting it to be a scam. The last 2 or 3 pages are people starting to post photos of the packages they received... padded envelope with a few crumpled sheets of paper.

It appears that the victims are being refunded by PayPal, so all's well that ends well!
