Also, I was recently in touch with someone selling a Mac DP 1.42 with 23"
Display on Ebay with a Buy It Now price of �1399. The seller listed his
location as London and had over 80 positive reviews - but none for high
value items.
It was an obvious scam :-)

Kevin,

That was WORD FOR WORD the reply a colleague of mine got after enquiring
about a digital SLR. There are no end of scams on Digital SLR gear right
now. My contact has kind of made it his mission in life to wind these people
up and take them all the way to the point of purchase by making up any
reason to be in the place they say they are. There seem to be real problems
with Ebay fraud right now.

Another thing to look for on the feedback is whether they are a seller or a
buyer. I saw impeccable feedback dating back 18 months and it looked great
until you check 'B or S' on the far right margin. A lot of people won't
realise, that person had only ever bought items.......
