Anyone near inverkething?
« on: December 18, 2012, 06:02:47 pm »
I reckon this could be a scam?
http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/vw-rns-510-navigation-system/1005286341

But If anyone local can check if this company is genuine or not I might be interested in buying one at this price

I vote scam. Or stolen. If something is very cheap, there is usually a bad reason why its so cheap!

I did think scam but the scammers don't usually list an address

There are a few breakers yards down there but can't see any called Off The Shelf. He's never heard of them either but will ask some folk at work tomorrow.

I notice they have a heap of gumtree ads. I'm down there on Sat so might take a drive down if I get a chance.

Pay via PayPal and if it goes tits, get your money back ! If he says no pay pal well that's got to tell you something !
It is pretty cheap though but as said there are a few breakers down there and sometimes these guys don't really know the value of the stuff they are selling !

At that price I would drive down for it if it was genuine.

They do have a hell of a lot of things on gumtree. But I hate when people advertise on gumtree in one area when they are not from that area
