Just got this question in my box--


Q: We are a Game Crazy franchise store located in Salem, Oregon with an excellent feedback rating, all from sellers as we do not sell on ebay. We are serious, pay fast and reliably by corporate business check.. Check out our feedback which speaks for itself (100.0%). For your protection, hold any game(s) won until the check has cleared. If you would like to do some business and can work with us on the payment terms, please get back to me. Thank you in advance for your response and consideration. Dwight, gamecrazy007.

Okay, for one thing, I don't think I've ever introduced myself to a seller before I've bid. Another, using the store locator, I found out there is no GC in Salem.
Finally, I searched his feedback and it is indeed 100% with 245 feedbacks or something. But then there's 2 other accounts with the name "Gamecrazy" in Salem, OR. One has 3 positives left by expired users...the other has 5 feedbacks, 1 negative saying the guy was a deadbeat.

Weird....any advice?

Seems like the tipoff phrase is "can work with us on the payment terms". Sounds real shady-like to me.

I don't know about this particular guy, but I have a guy at a Gamecrazy up in Canada that has bought a lot of stuff from me, and another Gamecrazy out west that bought a complete Harvest Moon 64 I sold with a company check. Never had any problems.

Nevermind, he supplied me with a phone number and every thing. False alarm
