Why??
US $ 1000,-- reserve not matched yet.

I would send a message and ask if I could pick up the Tyros myselve and pay on the spot..
If the reply is positive you know it is most unlikely a scam...

zero feedback does not allways mean scam..

Warning!

This is the 3rd time for the same ad over a month period. I know for a fact. I've followed the prior ones due to some litigation reasons.

On this ebayer's last ad, he had 7 ebay feedbacks. All of a sudden, he has 0 feedbacks?

Stay away is my suggestion.

I agree with Zuki! I looked at the same board and even asked if P/U was possible, but he gave me a run arround!

My advice is to stay away from people with 0 feedback. Some a**hole won my VA76 on ebay and 2 days later he tells me " OH I found a better deal on one" . Of course he had 0 feedback!

Thanks for all the help and suggestions !

But , I think I`ll pass on it , and be on the safe side.

If the seller is legit , then someone will maybe get a good deal. Buyer states that the protective film is still on the display , need to sell , needs the money.

Still it is not new if opened to install HD and memory !

Buyer would have been better of selling all items boxed and not installed , IMO.

Take care,

Gary 

This is a scam, he'll show you the hard drive and the expansion slots, but uses a factory picture for the keyboard. Yeah ok, who's he fooling.

wire-transfer, PayPal, direct cash deposit?

NO-GO
