There are literally about 7 of these on eBay right now, all for buy it nows or around $150. Is this serious? I want one if it is...

The more I look at it, it can't be real. They are all from a bunch of sellers with 11-12 feedback, with gibberish names like xbrheth. Read their feedback, it is all from buyers with similar gibberish names!

And all of the sellers accounts were created within a week of each other. These have to be scams

Wow, avoid all of the AVIC-N1's on eBay. i emailed one person that said to contact them directly if you want to Buy one for $529. So I emailed him, and he said Money Order only and it has to be sent to Romania. Looks like half of those are scam accounts, and the rest are stolen accounts. Avoid them all, except for the ones that are going for $1000+, those seem legit.

This was the reply:

Hello,
The units I am selling are brand new, in factory sealed never opened before box. At this time I am located in Romania and I can only take the payment through Western Union money transfer, as I am currently extending my paypal account and in Romania I need two weeks to pick up the money and I do not have that time. I will ship within 24 hours from the payment using the UPS Air Services so that you may receive the unit in less than 48 hours. For our protection we will do this deal trough ebay square trade company and our transaction will be supervised by ebay safe harbour team. You will be 100% protected against description error and fraud. I never make any deal outside ebay. I will pay the shipping and handling taxes.
Thank you!

Oh I know, I never would. If it is out of the country then I would use PayPal and NOTHING else, since PayPal protects me. But seriously, how do people fall for that crap?
