Hello all, Not sure where to post it but I have an issue. Yesterday evening I have found an add on the dutch website: http://link.marktplaats.nl/m1127899026 As I was quick I made an agreement with the seller: 10228 Haunted house for 250 euro and he reserved the set for me. The deal would include set 30201. As this is a very good price for a sealed set....it might be too good to be true. In his add he stated he wanted to sell this set because of ending his hobby. Well, a hobby would certainly include more Lego boxes so I asked him if he had more boxes. Yes he did but his nephew would buy the rest. So I started digging but could not find any data with infomation it is a scam. The address, name, back account etc. So I asked him if it was his own picture and he confirmed: yes. I made a story I was happy with that picture as the box looks in good condition. Further digging was required...I started to search pictures on google "lego 10228 30201" to see if this was his own picture. And then.....I found exactly the same picture..used for an add on ebay usa, an add of a fellow and respected Brickpicker. Am I 100% correct if this is a scam from the Dutch seller? No. But especially for my fellow Dutchies, please be careful with this advertisement. Cheers.
