Lets just say that I called the phone number she gave Nigel and ended up on her "accountant" voice mail!!! I left a message but of course no one ever called me back. I then had her checked by some friends of mine. Seems like they are using different names for different scams and are advertising all over the place usually asking for money to tell other people on how to make money but always with the same address she gave Nigel!

So the bed is still available then................

Gidget

This bed would sell in a minute if she would post an add even in a local paper at that price, so right there it looks weird.

Nothing lost, but a little frustration had to be there. Just glad to see that you didn't bite on this scam.

Gidget

Lets hope that she doesn't sell it to the next bidder and that he falls for it!

So what happened? Was there even a tanning bed or was it all a scam. The super bed from Romania (1200.00usd)turned out to be a scam as well. I forward the email I recieved from them to Ebay and they said it was not from them and that they were trying to get personel information. It seems there are a lot of scams out there.

On ebay!!!! Scams???? Noooooooo Waaaaaay! It has the Neon Beach Endorsement -- ebay is the bestest!

Caveat emptor is Latin for "let the buyer beware".
Generally Caveat Emptor was the property law doctrine that controlled the sale of real property after the date of 'closing'.
Explanation
Under the doctrine of Caveat Emptor, the buyer could not recover from the seller for defects on the property that rendered the property unfit for ordinary purposes. The only exception was if the seller actively concealed patent defects. The modern trend, however, is one of the Implied Warranty of Fitness that applies only to the sale of new residential housing by a builder-seller and the rule of Caveat Emptor applies to all other sale situations (i.e. homeowner to buyer)
Before statutory law, the buyer had no warranty of the quality of goods. In many jurisdictions, the law now requires that goods must be of "merchantable quality". However, this implied warranty can be difficult to enforce, and may not apply to all products. Hence, buyers are still advised to be cautious.
In addition to the quality of the merchandise, this phrase also applies to the return policy. In most jurisdictions, there is no legal requirement for the vendor to provide a refund or exchange. In many cases, the vendor will not provide a refund but will provide a credit. In the case of software, movies and other copyrighted material many vendors will only do a direct exchange for another copy of the exact same title. Most stores require proof of purchase and impose time limits on exchanges or refunds; however, some larger chain stores will do exchanges or refunds at any time with or without proof of purchase.
This phrase has given rise to many informal variations, such as caveat reader (properly expressed in Latin as caveat lector).
Caveat emptor has also been used by software documentors to entitle their collection of software functioning oddities or stumbling blocks in usage.
