As with all deals that are too good to be true, I am wondering what
the con is. one or two leap to mind

1) stolen - check serial numbers

2) non delivery - leave funds in escrow

any other obvious ones ?

x-posted to uk.people.consumers.ebay: they are wise to every scam there
is. Would be helpful to provide the listing number for scrutiny of the
listing, but I guess you don't want to publicise it just in case it
*isn't* too good to be true!

It was indeed a scam, it was a very bad scam, not even vaguley
convincing.
