I was contemplating bidding on this sellers Tripod, Monopod kit and as he is a new seller with no feedback I had a look at what other items he may have been selling. He is off loading a lot of high end gear, all "brand new never been used" It made me somewhat suspicious, what do you think.??

Seller has sold a few items but no feedback left as yet.

Yep!

Either a scam or the guy has created a new ID after lots of bad feedback.

I can't bring myself to believe that such naughtiness could go on in Australia.

I sent the guy a message asking why he is selling all this gear and if it has any valid warranty, I also asked for the serial number of the camera body, after 12hrs still no reply.
