Hi ladies and gents.

Hopefully someone can advice me on this as I'm not sure if this could be a scam or not. Any constructive feed back would be appreciated.

I'm planning to buy a sometime from a guy in Waterford. The product I'm buying normally costs about €890. The guy selling it is looking for €430.

I can't drive down there, so the seller said he'd be happy enough if I transfer half the amount into his bank account. He'll then post the product to me, once I receive it and I'm happy with it I'll transfer the other half.

Does this sound safe? Or could it be a scam?
