I found this treadmill on ebay. Its a local Calgary seller but with 0 feedback. The starting bid is $389.00 with no reserve. This treadmill is supposidly new and must be worth easy at least $5000. It is supposidly brand new in box and comes with warranty?

I have no plans to bid on it as I don't have the cash right now. However its one hell of a deal if its on the up and up. Somebody should snap it up. Maybe agree on a cash deal and get the seller to meet you in person so you can see the item is legit?

since the guy lives in calgary just say you want to meet up with him and pick it up and pay him than.

hard for scammers to scam smart local people. unless someone was dumb enough to have it shipped from one side of the city to the other

Even thought he starting bid is 389, this does not guarantee that it will sell at this price.

As a matter of fact the current bid is now close to 1200.

It's at $1400 right now. I would say only get it if it is actually in Calgary and you can pick it up. If the guy has a problem with that then don't do it.

the person who won the bid gave the (-) feedback. seems so be a scam. i always get a bit concerned when they cant post an actual picture of the product, rather a pic from the companies web site

they guy/girl looks like a scammer, I asked if I could drop by and have a look at the treadmill since I also live in Calgary but he/she told me that the item is located in the USA and the email was kinda weird too I can't remember but its something like [email protected] (that's the name it shows up as)
