I was looking around to buy a cheap but good mac, when I found a nice new 1Ghz eMac on Yahoo Auctions. So I bid on it and win the bid for $368.
The shipping is free and it's brand new in the box according to description. But I don't like the seller's responses to my emails. No matter how many questions I ask him, he only seems to respond to one or two questions, and usually with one word.
For example:
I say:
"Hello,
I have just won the eMac you had auctioned at Yahoo.
I've noticed that you state it's free shipping.
Could you tell me more details about the eMac?
Specific specs, video card, how new is it, etc?
Could I also have your phone number?
Do you take PayPal instead of the listed payment types?
I will send the money as soon as the above is met.
Thank you for the auction and I look forward to the product."
He Says:
"I also use directpaycash.com for payments to: [email protected] . if
this is good let me know
thanks"
--Typical, going straight to talking about money rather than answering my questions.
I say:
"May you tell me more about the eMac (full specs),"
He says:
"its new in the box."
I ask:
"May I have your phone number as well, incase needed?
Also, when did you buy it? Why did you plan to sell it? It does
include 1 GB of RAM like stated correct? Do you have any pics of it?"
--He then gives his phone number, and his last name in another email. Completely avoiding to answer the full question about the Gig of RAM and pics, etc.
What do you guys think? Should I go with the deal or what? Is there any specific precautions I should take? I already searched for this guy's contact info on Google and have only found other auction sites where he posted stuff, both on Yahoo and the other one I found he has no feedback. This is a heck of a deal if it's true but I don't know. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
