Hi all. Does this sound genuine to you ? I emailed the seller and his asking price is £600. Just seems cheap to me.

I'm one of the miniature aircraft reps for the state of Washington. I
flew my other one all the time but this one did not get used very often.
There are only about 14 total flights on this one. Everything is in
perfect working condition. Ready to fly, just add your own PCM receiver.

Why is he selling it in UK if he is a Rep in Washington? hence he live is USA

Go for it, Could be a Bargin, If unsure offer him Cash, and go collect it and pay for it once you have inspected it all, even ask for a demo flight 1st

(Quick UK Pilot) :- What can I do rather than What Can't I Do! :)

I remember looking at that ad here on runryder being sold by someone here in the states. Sound suspicious to me. could be the same person but you never know.

edit:
I think it was a e-bay sale .I was shoping aroud for an Ion and looked at this one. The ad is exactly the same but it was for sale in the us. I think it is a scam but I could be wrong.

Know what you're saying, just don't want to drive 70 miles for a no-show or rip-off

WATCH OUT!

He's a rip off, will want you to pay thru WesternUnion using square trade as insurance, but if you catch it...the $$ will be sent directly to another address, and kiss your $$ goodbye.

Almost got caught a month ago on same Ion....Western Union warned me off.

I emailed MinAir asking if the guy was genuine i.e. was he one of their Washington State reps. and they repied "This looks like our Ion X kit.." not much help, anyway here is the link I would like to know if anyone recognises the pictures. Have informed ebay of my concern, lets see what happens.

that is the same one I looked at buying a few months ago on e-bay from another seller. Exact same add and pictures but that was not the seller. This is a scam. Do not buy it.

I would ask him if you could see it in person and if it's all right you will buy it. See if he says yes, if he says no then you know it's a scam.

Take Care,
Cheers, Patrick

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Go see it, and pay in cash...it will never happen......exactly the same one I seen a couple months ago.

Many people complain to EBAY and they allowed the auction to continue......something to keep in the back of your mind when dealing on EBAY

In this case the old adage is very TRUE!

If it sounds to good to be true>>>>>>........it is!!!

Look at the price of similar Ion $1,500 - $2,500, don't kid yourself

Bill

I just noticed that this guy stuck it in the aeroplane section this time as it was well known in the Heli section....guy is getting smart....new meat for scamming

Think about it...A guy owns an Ion and doesn't even know which section to put it in on EBAY...ya right!

Bill

Fraud

This was Rob Clarks E-bay/Runryder ad from SEVERAL months ago.

This is a genuine fraud I can guarntee it.

Rob has long since sold this heli to my knowledge.
Report it to E-bay. I have seen this ad run at least 2 times now since Rob sold it.

Fly Fast....Live Slow...
