The only way to buy a used machine is either in person after trying it out or through a place with a chance for feedback, IMO (like ebay).
Some people are greedy and or uneducated, naive, mentally handicapped. Whatever. There are those that prey on people, plain and simple. These scams are also the "it's 1,800 for a $12,000 machine..send me a money order and I'll ship it to you right away." Yeah, right...
