Does this sound too good to be true? - Page 2 - tanTALK

tanzme: you and I are reading the original post differently, you seem to think it is
bodyrefinerytan, that is trying to sell the beds, I read it as she is pointing out the scam by pointing us to the same pics of the units on the golden image website. Is the salon selling these units?

He/they say, the beds are new and purchased in 2003. Ultrasun stopped calling their beds Power Flower years ago..plus those are NOT 2003 Ultrasuns, but rather they are about 5 years old..It is a scam.

Golgen Image should go after who ever is using their photos

Gotta be careful on EBay!

Look at the bid history on ebay and seller cancelled 2 bids for $14000, Buyer did not contact him for shipping info, $4000 would buy all 4 and he would deliver and set up for free, I guess the extra $10000 wasn't good enough for him. I got the same rresponse as earlier, send him 50% and COD upon delivery and set up, I recommended eBay escrow services, see where that leads.

Not supporting this guy but you can end an ebay auction any time you want as long as it is before 12 hrs to the end of auction...

Yea' I'd be leary of his small feedback rating...

There was a guy on ebay last month selling some Orbits for $600.00 each. I contacted him, requested the serial#s so I could trace the history thru Future Industry..he emailed back and said the beds did not have a serial#...WTF???!!!

It is a shame something that started off as good as ebay, became a home for scams and cons...

sbtan · 09-20-2004, 08:49 AM

He is not willing to use ebay escrow services, want's 50% of $4000 for all 4 and he has bids up to $2500 for just 1 as of now.

bodyrefinerytan · 09-20-2004, 09:19 AM

I am not trying to sell these beds, I was actually looking on ebay about these beds and he told me the same thing, half up front and half when delivered. I asked him about the escrow account be he never answered. Thanks for all the feedback.

bodyrefinerytan · 09-20-2004, 09:30 AM

Update on the auction.. A new feedback was left for him as of yesterday here it is ..... Liar! Impostor! Do not trust this guy, he will ask you to transfer money first and send you nothing.

How would you go about warning the bidders on that auction being as it is a private auction?

I beleive this is the same person trying to sell beds out of Chicago on Ebay about 6-8 months ago. I contacted him and he told me free delivery to my location with money sent to him up front, BUT..... I had to send Western Union (no trail). I then told him I would drive to his location pay cash and pick up the beds. He told me he wasn't doing that because he wanted to deliver to me (I'm about 10 hrs from Chicago). Got suspicious and forgot about the deal until I read a feedback from some lady that had paid the money and never received the beds. I contacted EBay they apparently removed it. Approx 3 weeks later same beds (pictures) new username, same payment requirements, again I contacted Ebay, again they must have removed the item haven't seen anything like it till now.
