Bow,
Unfortunately some forum members have been scammed recently so i would HIGHLY recommend satisfying yourself the seller is genuine and isn't going to do a runner with your cash. The best way of doing this is to ask questions about the item, ask for photos of the item including form name and if you don't know the guy ONLY pay by paypal and pay the charges. Pay by Paypal gift and Bank transfer and you have no comeback.
I think your intention was to expose somebody trying to pull a fast one and make other forums members aware - nothing else.
