There are 2 eBay bin listings for $99.89, multiples available from sellers with no feedback. Are these scams? (Sorry - don't know how to attach links.)

Okay. So here is a link for everyone to see this.

 

That is very interesting. The seller has 0 feedback, and it says that he has five available. This sounds to good to be true. I am leaning toward that this is a scam because of the feedback, the low price, and the quantity available.

The other one shows 4 sold out of the 10 available. I don't see how anyone can sell this at that price and make money unless it was stolen.

So fishy?  But eBay protects buyers.

I'm tempted, but I don't want to give my mailing address to these people. That would be nice if eBay could keep your personal info anonymous from the sellers by acting as a liaison in delivery. I'd have bought all of these if that was the case!

I bought them all... I know I'm protected.  I'm contacting eBay ASAP though.  I think it's a scam, but if it is, it's a really poorly done scam.

Update:  Listing was removed.  I am getting a full refund.  I didn't think I was going to get them, but I figured it would be a fun little experiment to attempt to get 5 crawlers.

I would never touch these - ever. Even protected or not. You just never know what someone is cooking up.

 

Also - I think it is very important for people to understand that there are ways to redirect people to outside sites to complete checkout, even with paypal. They can pull in your paypal information and eventually fraudulently charge things to it. So yes, you are protected through Ebay, not from the outside world though.

 

Maybe getting 5 crawlers isn't worth someone stealing your identity or your paypal account.

Exactly, why waste your time? It's clearly not legit---it's either stolen or doesn't exist.  Again, if something's too good to be true....

Love the avatar. Can't wait to get that fig. Set is so overpriced though.

Money was fully refunded.  Took two minutes.  I'm really not that upset by losing my time.  Should I have purchased them, no, but I'll get over it.

Exactly. There are very talented and devious people out there that can turn very little of your information into a whole lot of headache.

At least by purchasing it and getting it refunded you've in effect removed the listing so some other poor sap doesn't get ripped off

Buying from these questionable eBay sellers and drop shippers always opens the possibility of a LEGO S@H ban.  If you receive an illegal drop shipped item from LEGO directly, your account will be frozen.

Not to mention you just gave these people your valid name and address and ebay account which is enough unfortunately to get a crap load of other information.

Indeed. It is very interesting what some people can do with a little information.
