Bargain nice cage? I don't know where to put this.

Spotted this while looking for a new larger cage for my CAG. Price seems ridiculous. But maybe they're trying to entice buyers again. Whatever. I'd gladly wash the whole thing with pure bleach if that's the real cost. A 175x48x175cm wrought iron cage? For $12.59 U.S.? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bird-Parrot-Cage-Chinchilla-Cockatiel-Conure-Large-W-Stand-Two-Doors-175CM/362957810250?hash=item5481f8aa4a:g:588AAOSwwitefYH5

If there's a better place to put this, I apologize, just let me know.

Almost worth loosing ur money over! For sure, a credit card only! The rest of the offerings are just as wild! I believe the prices, but the shipping free?

Yes, verrry interesting...
Anyway, I moved your thread as you requested, fly!

Just remember, if it looks too good to be true, it usually turns out not to be.
$12.59 AND free shipping from China? I'd set up a separate PayPal account with exactly $12.59 in it. Hope you are not disappointed, good luck.

The one review left for the item says the buyer waited 8 weeks and never got the cage. So while not expensive, I don't think anyone who orders gets the item!

You won't have to worry about finding a spot for it as you will never receive it. Don't buy it is a scam. It a common scam the Chinese pull to get in quick cash. They sell items usually that go for much more, dirt cheap to get some quick cash to scam PayPal. I usually see them do this during Chinese New-year, but likely due to damage done to their economy they seem to be doing it more often lately.

How it works is they use new accounts, sometimes old accounts as well and they sell items that usually go for more cheap. Due to extended time it take to get delivered, it goes past the 30 days for a eBay claim and they get funds released to them, or hope some will forget to file a claim and delay feedback. In some case they ship to themselves smaller items to a different warehouse in the USA to provide tracking to get money released. You will never get the item and is a 100% a scam. They do this on a large massive scale as well.

Here a good example of one they did on Jan the 5 which is usally when they start pulling these scams. It a handheld oscilloscope that usually goes for over $100 to $175 and they put at $39 bucks. They scam 1000's on this one before eBay took the listings down and shut accounts down and they done this on 100's of different items.

Here what they usually go for that size. That one I seen before for around $129 legitimately. I seem them on other sites, but currently see them for $390 on eBay which is way to much. Quality not that good.
