don't waste your time with sellers without any feedback. i never buy from anyone who doesn't use paypal and has less than 95% positive feedback. i also look for sellers with a lot of sells because if they can manage to keep a high feedback with a lot of sales, then they're pretty reliable

everyone starts somewhere...

i would agree with that if the price was more realistic

plus it's not worth the risk nor is it your duty to help other start up an ebay account. they should start off by buying stuff to add to their feedback. there's stuff on ebay for less than $ .50. it's worth it to add to your feedback

Always be careful when you're buying from overseas. This one's from Italy, which doesn't seem too bad, but I'd be wary. The worst is when you see a whole set from China or something.

wow $56 for that whole cymbal pack...

Milano, Italy?.... I wonder how shipping is from there...

Honestly... I dont buy from people who dont provide pictures ( its best if the person puts their user name somewhere near or on the item so its proof that they have it )

I would ask the seller for pictures first... and it better be actual pictures of the item thats for sale... not a manufacturer picture.

If there is no reply... its a scam...

well... for 56 bucks, even if they are a little worn... its worth a try... its probably just some guy who just wants to get rid of them and is really stupid.

E-Mail him and maybe see if he can give pictures? Or maybe call if possible?

if it is a scam report it to ebay and they should take care of it. I didn't see a shipping price (i didn't look really hard though) but chances are that's where he'll nab you. 60$ for the cymbal set and 100$ to ship em. That's what i'm thinking is going on here.

It'll be one of those scams where you end up paying $800 for shipping but a low item price.

You see those all the time.

I think its geniune though, like Cork said, you have to start somewhere.


Id investigate into it a bit more before you start calling him a scammer and stuff.

he/she could just not have a digital camera, i know mine hasnt been working for a while and i dont scam anyone, but if he just doesnt reply at all its a scam, either that or its true and theyr all broken. i just recently got scammed on ebay for a guitar effects pedal, 50$, i was pissed, didnt get my money back, sent them e-mails over and over and never got a reply, damned ebay sellers, why would you try to sabatoge one of the greatest things known to man!?

If they dont have a camera, they should know someone who does.

It looks like a scam. No pictures, no feedback, based in Italy? Scam.

Email eBay. Ask about it. Say you're interested in bidding, but wary of being ripped off.

I dont think it is a scam, the price will increase greatly no doubt. I think its genuine, but I wouldnt bid on it. Is anyone even looking in to buying them?

No. Paypal is. Ebay has safeguards, but none do the job if you're an idiot without common sense.

im with you on the picture thing, but i would rather just have a picture and good feedback than having them put their name on it. i dont want to buy a cymbal with some random guys name all over them, i want a clean, good condition cymbal.
