I guess dontines is the first warning for this forum - be careful buying from him. He's not to be trusted!!!

cyberclone, please keep us informed of the status of your ebay purchase and if the Segway is never delivered make sure you report him to ebay so he can be cut off.

If anyone gets an email from someone overseas offering to sell their Segway at a great price, delete the mail and forget about the person. I knew it was a scam but strung them along to find out their angle. They want you to send them a money order. There's another person on EBay asking the same terms. If you do this, you will not get your Segway and have been taken. This scam needs to be known by everyone. It's a new product and the snakes are out there.

I think I would stay away from an International purchase .....could be a lot of hidden expenses with the exporting/shipping back to the US. And why do they even begin bids at 500.00...or .99 cents for a Segway.....probably to get the bidding action started , but I prefer something realistic. I had a good sale of my Segway"i" on EBAY just over a month ago with a basic, no non-sense ad.

Not just stay away from Intl purchases, avoid them like the black plague. They're scams. Best is to not buy from anyone unless they allow you to pay credit card or pick up. Otherwise, there's a chance they're scamming you or stolen an identity.

escrow seems to be the way to go on any large payment type of deals.
