1. The lead on the Ad is ambiguous at best. The bid is for EITHER of the carts, not both. For both, the winner DOUBLES his/her bid.
2. Seller is in Hong Kong.
3. No PayPal. Cash or direct bank transfer only.Hmmmm. ThinkI'll pass.

Follow Ups:
27-0 feedback from buyers, including some fairly expensive audio related items.On the other hand, I just don't think what he is offering is worth the price (IMHO).
sigh, this was what i thought when i bought a turntable from a guy in canada who also didn't take paypal. i think he had a similar number of positives in his 100% positive feedback, but turned out he was a known crook who had just built up the positives (with some nice gear too) to make a big score. i don't think i was the big score he intended, but i think he didn't want to deal with my shipping requests so he took my money and just abandoned the account.of course, even with that, i would probably still be up for taking the same risk again for the right item at the right price (a used cart of unknown hours for that price is neither, for me anyway :)
Henry,
AS a seller he has perfect feedback.
He's probably just trying to minimize his Ebay and Paypal costs which are substantial; especially on foreign currency transactions.By offering 1 or both cartridges in this form, he lists only 1 and he pays the "final value fees" only once to Ebay.
I don't lame him one bit for doing it in this manner. His wording may be a little strange, but I would just chaulk that up to being a foreign listing.

Not me. Overseas. Doesn't ake anything but cash or bank transfer. It's all yours.

There are safeguards, even with those parameters.
I've done it before.I can't say that I would go out of my way to do a transaction like that, but it wouldn't stop me if I wanted the item bad enough.
I guess it takes some measure of intestinal fortitude 8-D
