Found these on Facebook but not sure if it’s legit. Account was created this year and he will only use Venmo and cash app (both don’t refund buyers if item isn’t shipped). Anyone know ways to tell if it’s a scam.

says he used them all season, but they're in basically new condition? also vishnus go for $420 in the presale, so i would say that $350 is not a good price at all.

Maybe it isn't but don't get too hyped on buying something that you risk it. Not a crazy deal anyway. Buy stuff in person or use payment methods that protect you.

I've been scammed a couple times and got my money back with paypal.
