Ebay chipper - scam or not

[padman]

wood chipper diesel on bateson trailer, new starter motor, battery and radiator | eBay

 

Will not except cash on collection and says will deliver it free after cleared funds - sounds real dodgy to me.

 

Any one know anything about this machine

[hamdogg]

Yeah it will be a scam! If they don't accept cash on collection or at least bank transfer once you have seen it, it most prob is

Why should one not accept cash on collection?

[harrythecat178]

Looks like one to avoid, plenty out there , buy another

[hamdogg]

Not seen a lot of chippers for sale lately though

[dumper]

Cash on collection leaves you open to dodgy notes would you notice duff £20 notes in a large bundle probably only when you tried to bank or spend them

Think you misunderstood: if they accept COC then the item is more likely there!

[padman]

They will NOT take COC - that's what got me concerned. They want paying first and then said they will deliver.

[Stubby]

 

That is the signature of a scam every time .

I understood, someone not accepting cash is most likely nonexistent = scam.

It was an rhetorical question.

 

Some bigger companies can not accept cash, but that's an rare exception.
