    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi all,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm a non-business seller and a potential buyer got in touch to ask of my items listed on ebay are still available. When I replied yes, I received the following message:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;"I live in Lincoln. I would like to come and see the products before buying them, but I don't think it's possible for me to come and see them. If there is a return guarantee option, I will buy the products, check them, and then decide. Please add these two items and provide a final quote: [post titles for two items]"&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;The items are quite high value items worth about £3k in total and the buyer's account is new with no feedback, which rauses&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;It feels like this is a reasonable request given the investment in these items, but I'm a bit concerned that there's a scam I'm not seeing?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Thanks,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Patrick&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
