Thats what i was thinking? but it says its a police sale whatever that means ? Well the person has nothing but positive feedback.
And i also see that aswell so im wondering WTF !!!!! is it for real or fake please keep your views coming.
Answer #4
police sale is like an auction. all the stolen goods which were never given back are in this auction/sale. you get to buy them. if you have �50 lying about why not try it

HMMMMMM yeah i just looked and see and they are private so i reckon they could have an account creator or something. interesting

Yeah he does have 100% feedback.. But that 120 feedback have come today and yesterday .. and �50 is still alot of money to lose OR pay for a moody email address or something like that
scam all the people who left feedback have 0 feedback themselves + they all joined in October
yep just saw that too. its a scam mate dont do it.

Yeah i see that i checked all the feedback.
i think ill keep tabs on his account just to the feedback he gets from the people who actually purchase it.
