Question about buying info on e-bay.

I was looking at getting an indash DVD player for my car, and I came across this apparently good deal on e-bay where you can buy info on how to get a Pioneer AVH-P7500DVD for $80.00.

Do you guys know anything about this? What is involved in this because I find it hard to believe that you can get a $2000.00 item for jsut $80.00.

look at there feedback.. if they have a very positive feedback then go for it..

if they have alot of negatives dont bother..

what i do is i look to see if they have sold the same item before.. and i look at what the buyer said and if they were happy with it..

you may come across good deals once in a while.. doesnt mean they are a scam...

just do research
email the seller ask questions...
find out everything u need to know...
thats what i do..

the feedback for these people are all fake, u will notice that they are all the same 10 or so buyers....and there is no shipping involved, ur basically paying for an email of a list of distributors.

I know the mark up on some stuff is as high as 800% so who knows what ur really gonna get...I'd like to know what the deal is with these particular auctions are though

I have asked the guys selling this thing and apparently they would give the winner of the auction a link to a database where the item can be purchased.
The only trick is that the site is a matrix site and apparently everyone has to go through a cycle before actually buying the DVD. I thought you guys knew what is one supposed to sell and how much of it.
There are even ppl from Canada selling this stuff.

Technically its not a scam but it might as well be, to get the dvd player for that price you have to buy a cetain amount of them from a supplier ,.

i have one of these wholesale lists, the ones on ebay are fake, there is no way you'll get a dvd player for $80, its like those get rich commercials where you send $29.95 in 3 easy payments, mean while they just pocket the ****
