    What do you make of this?

    I've been rummaging through Craigslist to find a cheaper XBOX360 and I found this guy.

    Just look through the deals on this site, they seem too good to be true. I've never heard of the 2 forms of payment he accepts, to know the buyer safety. Anyone ever heard of Graphcard or e-Gold? His site tries best it can to imbue the buyer with security, but it seems way too good. His discount must be a five finger discount.. Anyways what do you guys make of this site? Scam? or best thing ever.

    sound way too good. Also never heard of those payment sites. plus all his "previous customers" are yahoo accounts which are probably just accounts he made.

    GRAPHCARD.COM ( FUNDING BY WESTERN UNION, MONEY ORDER, CHECK, BANK WIRE )

    There is way to much fraud that takes place through Western Union. I can't see graphcard.com in Firefox but i'm sure it's some obscure non-traceable payment site.

    Prices are way to good to be true, his phone is on 2 hrs a day and not on weekends WTF!?

    Just stay away, tons of these people pop up during the holidays trying to make a quick buck, using payment methods that are either impossible to extremely difficult to trace.

    Virtually guaranteed to be stolen. Fuck, if truckers were able to buy Wiis for $175 each, in unlimited quantity, no questions asked, I'd be a fucking trucker.

    EGold is real and valid form of payment but i didn't click on anything on his site so I don't know how scammer proof it is, but I doubt its more secure than paypal and I don't even trust paypal (unless absolutely necessary). If the guy is local I would check it out. Over the internet I wouldn't bother.

    Fake or not, its a really ugly website.

    If you're looking to buy a (relatively) cheap 360, and don't mind it slightly used, shoot me a PM, we can try to work something out. As much as I love it, and Halo 3, I'm buying a PC at the end of the month and I've started to think of just trading it in to Gamestop.. while they still pay decent for 360's, they do jack up the resale price and would rather both get a bit more back on the sale while helping someone out on the purchase. Bioshock, TF2, almost anything I would want to play I could play on my PC... I'm still in the deciding phase, but if you're interested, shoot me a PM, is all. I've only used it maybe 20 hours to play Halo 3 and Eternal Sonata, lol.

    The part where it said "Schenectady NY" should have been your hint that this guy is not to be trusted.

    e-gold is reputable... but virtually untraceable. Good for shady dealings.
