There was one posting on the classifieds. The price was quite much lower than usual. Issue is he is in Europe.
Is there a safe way to transact? Paypal? Or is this confirmed scam?

It is from the b&s section. But when a deal is too good to be true, it probably is?

Any time when you have to transfer money first, before goods shipped from overseas, should be considered a scam until proven otherwise.

When you buy from ebay you will have to buy upfront in almost all cases. Which seller would send his stuff around to globe without getting paid?
But I'd buy from ebay Germany without much hesitation if the seller's rating is good. The laws there (as they are the baseline of the contract in this case) are much more in your favour than here in SG. It helps to read the fine print.

Oh well, I generally like to trust people, but I think this one smells tricky.

Now my big qn is buy brand new or 2nd hand.

If you want to get a new set, decide soon, there might be an increase in the price in the near future, it already started in hongkong.

Remember. If it looks like turd, smells like turd, then it is most probably turd. Don't try to taste it to see if it taste like turd.
