A seller from Spain, just registered Jan31, 2013, (so there is no ratings, etc.)  listed a quantity of 10  of 1 fairly common item. and the  item is listed on Amazon, and many other places for $230, and she sold all 10 for $25.99 + FREE Worldwide shipping. Too Good to be true!!  So what is the hook?  Do they say the charges didn't go through, trying to get my Visa number???????

Like you said, if it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.

 

To have an expensive item listed with such a low price tag should be a key indicator to you that maybe the item is counterfeit, or the seller is not a legit seller. If the account was created on 31st and is already selling high end items... I don't even think I need to carry on with my explanation (._. )
