oh, and if I were your friend I would weigh two things before I made this purchase.
The first is, how much does he need the $400-500? There is clearly a fair chance that this is a scam.
The second is, how does he feel about the fact that it is stolen? Will he be paranoid about his stolen shit?
So, if he can imagine losing that $400-$500 without really suffering, and he is OK with having ~$4000 worth of stolen computer goodness on his desk, then I would give it a try.
get your friend has to tell us how the transaction went.
sometimes i wish i wasnt so paranoid--and that I had $400.

This can't be real. And if it's real, can someone please explain why this person thinks he can't get caught?

Its obviously a scam. He could put those items up on ebay and sell them for a hell of alot more and nobody would know if its stolen or not. 100% scam.

You could check it by getting a few people together and showing interest in something he only has 2 of. See if his 'supplies' run out or if he just takes the money from as many people as possible. The strangest thing about that entire page is that he doesn't have a supply of '1' for anything. If several people emailed him about the same thing, they might all get the 'last one in stock'.

i was thinking about this there is some inconsistancy in the FAQ
He talks like its a one time deal at one point and says he hopes he will never have to do it again and at other parts he talks about how he has contacts from previous transactions and has shipped all over the world.
Seems a bit odd to me, I have move to the side thinking its a scam....

$500 for a tv? Instead invest in a hooker.

This is a scam. I'll throw in my two cents since I probably have more experience with this kind of stuff then anyone else on the board. Anyone who steals knows the best place to sell hot shit is on eBay using a stolen powerseller account (available for between 100-200 USD). He mentions eBay has an elaborate prosecution policy which is BS as everyone knows. He's having $$ sent to an address (probably his real house because he's a dumbass) which you never do when selling shit online because all the feds would have to do is stake the address. Always use E-Gold set up to an offshore account using Fake IDs (which any real criminal has easy access to). When you steal goods you never say where the fuck there from and even hot goods get 50-60% if they are electronics which means his prices are way too low even on the black market. Also his supply #s are bullshit. Maybe if it was carded but when physically stealing (not an easy thing to do) you go after big scores which make it worth the risk. If you have an opportunity to walk out with 3 you have an opportunity to walk out with 30. He also uses e-mail from yahoo instead of something from ziplip or hushmail. There are also more things but these are the biggest points. If this guy isn't a scam he is a complete dumbass in which case I still wouldn't take the risk though Axo's idea of emailing from multiple accounts wouldn't be a bad idea just for shits and giggles. Well there is my opinion and a short 101 lesson on fencing using the internet.
