[CUBE] Scam or for real-you decide

[Steve Houlton]

I agree when it sounds too good to be true.   your going to get screwed.

Ok, just because someone has good feedback doesn't mean they are 
honest.  Have to look at the feedback.   I almost did a 'too good to 
be true' deal with a guy who had 20+ positive feedback (no negative); 
but didn't cause when I looked at the feedback it was all low dollar 
items (most under $5).   To me this guy set up a fake ebay account 
buying $100 worth of goods to get a good feedback rating in order to 
cheat me (or somebody) out of $1200.

Only way I would do a deal like yours is if I could go through a US 
Escrow service.
A friend of mine was going to buy a PB on Ubid from some guy in 
Europe using a Escrow service from over there.  Well the Escrow 
service turned out to be just a fake web site; so only use a trusted 
US escrow service.

As to the profit;   buyer pays shipping not seller.
