im lookin to get a good monitor and i have seen where the 31inch dells are over 2k and this one is 800 with free shipping.

FWIW, seller has 17 positive messages and 1 negative.

of course this is a scam... even if the monitor is stolen, why the [censored] would villain sell it at that price?

He could have made those positive comments himself I suppose. It is probably too good to be true. Maybe someone there in London should go look in person, but maybe the monitors are stolen or broken or something anyway.

here's how this works, for all you ebay fish...

create account in june '06. list a bunch of junk quickly. get high rating. post "BINs" (buy it nows) of a popular, high money item. offer free shipping, so people dont have to worry about that... (for the record, know how much it costs to ship a monitor that size from london to the states? lol)... then, after everyone has payed for the BINs, collect your money from paypal, money clears while the shipping (remember it was comming from london) takes its course... 2 weeks later people are pissed, but it could still be "lost in the mail" type deal, so paypal can't really do anything... 3 weeks later everyone realizes they were screwed, and villain has just overdosed on meth while performing a "dirty sanchez" with a hooker...

that bout sums it up.
