I'd say it's a fraud has 10 of em and 1 feedback. But with PayPal protection what do you have to lose?

I remembered we had something similar not that long ago, and after I clicked 'buy', I immediately regretted it as I saw the same seller selling xbox at 20(or something like that)...and within hours, the seller disappeared and we all initiated the protection program.

Look at all those prices from the same seller, I sure hope it is not targeted towards us. XLT $42, swisschamp $39, Wenger S54 $29...

I reported this as suspected fraud via ebay feedback/help - not long after I made this post

I just went back to check on ebay and got this message:
"noyelquent - No longer a registered user" when I went to look at his items....

I wonder if the ebay police got him - Or he just made off with all our money - It seems he made about 10 sales......
Poor sods who bought

As they say .... "If it looks too good to be true - it probably is...."  :(

If I was going to do a fraud on MTs or anything - I'd set the price just a little under the regular price.
You make more money - And it does not look suspicious !!  :D  :D

BUYER BEWARE:

Here are some LM BO Surge auctions that look dodgy to me (check out the feedback as a seller):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/252131655965

http://www.ebay.com/itm/201451523922

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321889514893


As has been said many times already:

"If it seems too good to be true, it probably is"  (so stay away from it)
