Its very odd that the scammers are women predominantly who say items are brand new when there not & bring in empty boxes with no product in it.

Brand new, never used, and rare........means RUN!! "Somebody told me it was new", means it was in the "FREE" pile at a garage sale.

It cracks me up when people say something is brand new. It's only brand new if it's still sealed in it's original packaging. Also like it when people are trying to sell movies and they say that they're new or only watched once. Also that they made sure that all the discs are in the cases and in excellent condition. Then you start looking at the condition and then they're is fingerprints or scratches then they blame it on the children. I'll respond with oh I thought you checked all the discs? Your children must have started rifling through the bag and smeared their fingerprints on the movies so you won't be able to sell them.
