In one word "NO" I looks like a scam to me and just remember if it looks to good to be true it most likely is!

The prices are resonable but not that low that its a definate 'scam' the only one that stand out is the Nokia Communicator 9500 selling for £299 which is a little too low.
But saying that, if they did start up on there own they should have there own website and not be using an @yahoo address. But just be careful before handing any money over

Cheers lads,
I emailed him about postage to Dublin, and he quickly replied and said it would be an extra £4.00 which is around what I usually have to pay on ebay. Usually scammers reply with No Extra Cost, just to get quick payment. I think i'll leave it till tomorrow to see if anyone has had dealings with them,
Regards,
Dan

Hmmm, As someone said these prices seem good but not really suspicously low. Have to say though the D500 for £150 and the Communicator for £299 are a bit iffy...IMO the dodgy one and maybe 'tailored' one knowing you visit Esato is the K750i....£180 GSM & with a 1GB stick surely is a scam price!! |

Yeah, I think so mate, certain phones do sound a bit dodgy, On defensive's advice I'm going to ask the guy for his original ebay username and see if his story is true. I'll Update this later.

They are inroducing themselves as a company.
Send an email and ask for their office details; Location and phone number.
If they refuse to give you that then back off.

listing the sharp 903 as brand new is a bit dodgy too - its a vodafone exclusive that has only just come out in Japan. So they could maybe get them as returned phones, but thats a pretty quick turn around for a phone thats only been on the Japanese market 20 days. It would also mean they arent brand new. |
