  1. Ok, it seems that although there is a scam like this he wasn't caught by it.

     

    He contacted the seller who finally replied and told him he had two phones, after he sold the first one the second got stolen...but he reported the wrong phone!!

     

    My mate is a happy bunny again....

     

  2. I am now obsessed with clip lock containers! I cant go shopping without checking out the sizes, shapes and quality of containers on display, sad I know!

    haha I'm the same! Actually Mrs eusty came back from shopping the other day with a 'little present' for me, when I looked in the bag it was a couple of containers from Morrisons :)

  3. Just thought I'd let you know about an ebay scam, one which a friend at work got caught with, it's not really geocaching related........unless you need a phone with GPS!

     

    It only works if you want to buy a phone. (Not something I'd do from ebay!)

     

    You win the auction and get the phone, it arrives and works so you are happy and leave positive feedback.

     

    Everything is fine for just over a month and then the phone can't get a network. My friend went into the network shop (Orange in his case) and they couldn't sort it out until they phoned their HQ, the phone had been marked as stolen and blocked.

     

    They explained what people do, they sell a phone on ebay, they then get insurance on the phone and report it as stolen to claim the insurance. By waiting 45 days before doing this you can't open a resolution case with ebay.

     

    They end up with a new phone and the money they sold the old one for...you end up with a blocked phone :(

     

  4. When I started caching in the dark I didn't have a decent torch, so I decided to get one.....which has led to a addiction!

     

    These are what I have so far with the lumen's they give out in bold.

    So what has geocaching done for you?

     

  5. Looked on the UK Garmin site, but it doesn't give anywhere you can buy it or price :(

     

    Checked the US site and it gives the price as $400 but also states

     

    This device has not been authorized as required by the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained

     

    Maybe they have been a bit hasty putting it on the website?
