Sketchy Ebay auction

I know there are thousands of sketchy ebay auctions out there...
hoever this one caught my attention.
HERE

I wrote the guy and aked if I could come and check it out prior to bidding on it. I figured he lives in my area, since the item location said RIVER FALLS WISCONSIN.

Question about your item

Dear dominique262,

Where are you located? May I come check it out before I bid?

Please respond to the question on eBay by clicking the button below. You'll have the option to display your response directly on the listing. "

His Response

"Dear customer ,
for the moment i'm in uk with some business , the tv is here too , so will be shipped directly from London .
Buy it now price for the tv is 2999 USD .
if you want this tv here is what you must do :
transfer 2999 USD to whoever name you want from uk (friend , family , anybody ... even your own name but with uk address) and after that send me the transfer details to check it on website . if it's all ok i'll ship you the tv and after you receive it you'll redirect the money to my name ...
Thank you and hope hear from you soon !!!"

"only Western Union Money Transfer(no COD , no Escrow , no Paypal..."

I'd def stay away from that, plus the guy has 0 feedback!

I think you can report him based if nothing else on the fact he offerd to sell it to you for $2999, there being no "buy it now" option on the auction. Now whether ebay will do anything...

A plasma TV with him on business to London, please!

I went ahead and sent that into ebay. It will be taken down just for the fact that he doesn't accept anything but money transfer, and has 0 feedback.
