Hey guys,

I wanted to buy a nintendo DS for a low price on ebay. But I didn't really expect these prices there. There are nintendo ds's with 0 bids, and only 20 hours left.

What I noticed is that most owners are from the United Kingdom! (Not that I have something against the people there, but almost ALL come from there) Can I trust this, or is this a scam?

Please give me your honest opinion.

Some auctions I'm watching:
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...0451949152
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...0387861562
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...0457136191

My general rules are that if it seems too cheap to be true, ignore it, and if the image isn't their own, if it's just from Google or something, ignore it. Out of those 4, only consider the last one. It's a more realistic price, compared to the others, and the image seems to be their own picture.

And if you look at their costumer feedback ... some joined already in 2005, but still have 100% positive feedback. What are your thoughts about that?

Well buy one just make sure you use paypal .

I don't have paypal, I usually pay using bank transfers.

Then be careful .

Why is paypal safer than bank transfers then?

Paypal doesn't have to use your bank account :p
You can use funds in your paypal balance or a debit/credit card.

I'm not really sure if it makes it safer but it seems to be the more common method

I think with paypal, you can report payments that go bad, and get your money back or something.
