The chance of getting these cheap is VERY tempting, and I have been mulling this over for quite some time. I had originally decided that I was going to bid regardless of everyone’s skepticism. I felt that with my credit card and paypal protection, I would be covered no matter what (which is still somewhat true). However, I asked the seller several questions and looked over the auctions more closely, and now I am convinced that these auctions are no good.
I asked why the seller still had zero feedback after the last set of auctions, and she responded that she did not plan on pursuing people who didn’t pay. She only intended to sell these particular items, and did not plan to ever sell again. So feedback was not important to her. Not good to hear for a potential buyer!!
I asked her about shipping, and she indicated that it would take 5 – 7 weeks, and no tracking is available since she is from Belgium!!!!
Finally, I looked very closely at the photos, and you can tell that many are from different sources. Some are close-ups, others are from farther away. The close-ups are cropped in different shapes (rectangles, squares, etc.), indicating a proficiency with photoediting programs (i.e., a computer competency) that the listing and conversations don’t convey. The ones showing the entire boxes have different backgrounds. It just looks like these were lifted from various other auctions.
Despite the lure of the golden prize (and I have bid on many suspicious auctions in the past involving no tracking and/or payment by cash or money order), this buyer will not bid. Good luck to those that do.

I was a newbie taken by terg3110 for one item. In the end I was out 25 dollars in paypal fees and I had learned some great lessons . I learn all things in life the hard way. This smells rotten. Stay away. Stay away! I hate to see this going down.

Well i guess is logical not to bid at someone's auction with 0 feedbacks who is selling most of the socs that everyone wants so cheap, don't you think? when i c something like that i just skip it.
