I have been scrounging the globe for a premium 360 bundle for the past few weeks. This past week I ended up emailing a few people that live in my area to see if they would sell out of auction... the first guy sounded shady... He said in the auction that if you use BIN he'll do free shipping. I asked if he'd drop the price to $450 and I'll pick it up. He said yeah, but he wanted me to use the BIN and then pay him the entire amount ($500+$46 S/H) and then he'll pay me back the difference when I pick it up... which makes no sense to me at all, so I passed...
The guy I emailed today said he'd accept my offer but I had to transfer the Paypal funds to him before I picked up the system, and there is no original store receipt (he said the consoles are straight from the manufacturer). I was hoping for a cash transaction, but I guess the limited Paypal protection wouldn't be a bad idea...
Is it worth it to deal with transactions this big on eBay? I just don't wanna get burned here somehow....
