SDCC Bruticus for $16.78, its either a con or he screwed up somehow

You know the saying...

There was a similar listing yesterday and it was pulled. I'm kinda thinking the guy's just doing it to be an asshole, though, and get people's hopes up rather than actually steal their money.

Judging by the empty box, the Bruticus he's selling is the one on the packaging.

How about this one? Same price, also Canada, different seller.

"Different" as in the jagoff created a bunch of different accounts. Notice they all have 0 feedback...

So it looks like he's sold others. What can happen if I buy one?

Beats me. $17 gets held up in limbo for a month?

There is always the possibility that this is a very jaded girlfriend/spouse.

You likely get to dick around with the paypal dispute system. The only way that doesn't happen is if eBay automatically reverses the transaction when they close the fake accounts. All I can assure you of, though, is you won't get the item in the listing...

Yeah, I saw this yesterday too. I was going to quickly buy it until I saw his 0 feedback. I just gave it a flipping bird and went along with my business >.<
