Is This a Good Buy?

Hi Everybody



I just stumbled across this item and was wondering if you think it is a good buy?



It has a low starting bid!

99 cents and 500 postage?


 


NO.


 


Apart from circumventing fees, I don't think this unit is worth that.


Maybe if you were buying the top of the line German unit built for a lifetime.

Yeah, sure, another one of those short green men who jumped on my keyboard to add that "0" ]:)



And I really would be happy for it to go at 99 cents 😉

Obviously does not want to sell this, does he?  He has listed whole lot of various items (from boats to tools) at the same time; but instead of the usual "freight" charges for which he has a calculator in the description area   they all have $500.   ?:|


He has the same instrument for $13.99 with $10 postage (to my postcode):

Super and kazumi, you might be right, could be an error. I think I saw some engrish somewhere with the seller.


Super, thats only the 9 piece, that's cheaper. :^O

Does anyone really believe that he wants that for postage?


 


It is clearly a mistake and as we all know there have been numerous glitches with listing postage.


 


Gee, some of you really just want to sink the boot in no matter what.

You're right bump, I for one have become a little cynical.


And no one will follow through with the purchase anyway even if bought unknowingly.


I am prepared to give benefit of doubt, but looking at feedback and other listings, looks a little fishy to me. ?:|
