Notice almost all of the feedback on the account...it's over a period of a few months of this year. And it's all jewelry. All of it. Cheap, cheap jewelry. Now suddenly it's selling 80,000 kindles or whatever.

It's just a cut and run. Have fun waiting around to get your money back from paypal.

Think of it this way. Why would they sell kindle 3s for $45 when they could sell them almost as well at $80? Because they want to sell them fast. Why do they want to sell them so fast? Because they're going to take the money and skedaddle!

The only sellers you should trust with this kind of too-good-to-be-true kind of deal should be a well known seller on ebay like buy.com or compgeeks or something.
