Not a PC DVD recorder.
Panasonic DVD recorder with built in hard drive.

I'd offer to pay him in rupees then!

Mother Mary Says, 'HONESTLY! you're just ruint!'

I'd say "other" leaves it wide open for you!

I don't know a lot about e-gold but if you have ever set up an account with pogo - it's a gaming site (not gambling) when you win cash they will pay you through either e-gold or PayPal.

I've also seen a few sellers over at BidVille that take e-gold. Could be something new that just hasn't gotten the word out.

Six inches Lord, that's all I need!

I would take some time and research this a little deeper. After looking at the sites listed in his e-mail to you.

1st..I would check this page out from e-gold >>Click Here<<

2nd...The guy has his own money order business saying that it is registered with the BBB of Tampa >>Click Here<< to check it out. I would contact the Tampa BBB and get info.

Just sounds like a long trail to get someone seperated from their money.

I would think that if the guy really wanted his money he would take any money order or at the least a cashiers check.

Good luck

Seems fine to me, I've had an e-gold acct for 2 years, watch out though there are many scams connected with this site (but nothing to do with e-gold).

If you're used to paypal, the site feels very uncomfortable/iffy and it isn't the easiest method of getting your cash.

e-gold is where the HYIP'ers hang out (scam city)

"Truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it; but, in the end; there it is."

To each his own, but what is the point? I don't like someone telling me to use something like that and would not bid on the auction. Sorry.

Could the same thing happen with Paypal?

Any ideas?

Turns out this guy was a fraud.
He didn't respond to me when I suggested escrow (which I would pay for).
Then I get an e-mail from one of the other bidders saying he had received a 'second chance offer' from the guy. The other bidder wanted to know if I received my unit yet.
Reported the whole thing to Ebay and they cancelled the guys account.
Need to be carefull out there!
