UK Response to 12VP4 want ad - Videokarma.org TV - Video

I've received a response to my want ad for a 12VP4 CRT. It came from the UK. The price is right which includes shipping. But the description "perfect working condition and good shape" is disturbing. Then again, English doesn't seem to be the fellow's first language. Or, it could just be his typing skills. He also says he doesn't have pics of it.

There's also a 12VP4 ATX power supply that he might think I want, but my ad was placed on ETF.

I feel like I'd be playing roulette if I go for it.

Don't buy anything till you can verify this persons identity.

Thanks Eric, I sent you a reply. I wonder if a sticky could or should be posted about this guy?

I have an add concering Hoffman Easy Vision TVs and a 19AP4 on my antique radio clubs website. One day, I received an email from the UK indicating that the sender had both for sale. As I suspected that the sender did not even know what a Hoffman Easy Vision TV was, I immediately deleted the email.

Scams abound.
