It was first offered 9x C4CPC for 75€ each. The seller changed the price to 200€ for the last ones.
I'm very curious to know how he was able to stock so much quantity and sell them just now.

He's a thief, a scammer...  >:(

I ordered a C4CPC very early this morning, when the price was still 75 euros. The delivery of the item is intended for all of Europe.
The seller quickly validated and confirmed my order!
I also received an order notice from eBay by mail.

For information, my delivery address is OK, I have lived in the same place for 15 years...  :D

And 30 minutes later, my order is cancelled for the reason "incorrect delivery address !!".
And the price has gone up to 200 euros!

He does not respond to messages...

RUN AWAY!!!   :picard: :(

@xesrjb did he ship your order?

@poulette73 I guess he recognized late that it's to cheap/he doesn't want to ship outside of Europe and then uses a false reason to cancel the sale. I hope you can still rate the sale or does Ebay prevent this when he choses wrong address?

He only marked it as shipped. No tracking noumber. Shipment was 6,19€, I guess he send it in an envelope...

I don't understand why he cancel... He lives in Germany, I live in France.

He had put 25 euros for shipping...  :picard:
Even if I was ready to pay this delivery rate (given the rarity of a C4CPC), he was not losing out... It was expensive to pay for the transport ! :-X

@xesrjb: you're lucky to buy one !  ;)

I guess someone told him: "you're crazy, it could sell for 200 or 400 euros"... So he tried to cancel everything.

He is doing that with all his stuff that he changes the price between bargain and crazy. Recently he had a DDI1 that changed between 50 and 150€ every day. This particular offer had at least 3 different prices: 60€,75€ and 200€.

That sounds fishy. I am not aware that there's enough information available to build a C4CPC from scratch.

When you rate the seller make sure to include photos/screenshots of the letter (without address) and the original offer. He probably lies when he responds to bad ratings and it's likely he tries to blame you. With photos this won't be possible and it's a better warning for others. 

Sorry for originally posting it. Until now he seemed nuts but at least he didn't try to scam anyone.

A curious case. It's unlikely for any ebay seller with a good reputation score to commit suicide by trying such a stupid scam. I don't get any of this at all.

Yes, it was strange to be able to offer this quantity, when he is not @gerald and especially since he said they would be produced.

Yes... but cancelled again.. ::)

Quote from: Titi on 14:59, 03 March 25Quel est son intérêt d'annuler la vente ensuite ?
No idea why he does this.
Either he cancels the sale as soon as someone validates a purchase ?
Or it's not him, but eBay who cancels his sale (following an external report from a user).

Because it is very expensive?
Title: Re: How do I buy c4cpc ?
Post by: XLV2K on 21:55, 10 March 25
Also because its only offered in USA.. importing it into other regions, you get slapped with customs fees, import taxes, on top of the cost of the Backbit cartridge, the adapter and the courier costs.. it adds up... also, I don't see if backbit pro sellers use EU's IOSS which could lower some of those customs fees and import taxes, I guess I'll inquire them about it.
