I found a guy on gumtree (there's another one too but didn't contact him) selling Samsung and LG TVs from US at extremely cheap price, e.g. LG 49UB8200, which is the US version of the UB820T in Singapore is only S$650 (technically he's selling at the correct price since TV price in Singapore are marked up too much).
I asked him about the compatibility since US use different sockets and has a voltage of 110v while Singapore is 220v, but he said there's no issue, don't even need a transformer(!?).
He said there will be delivery and I can test it, if I don't like it I can reject. But then the payment is through bank transfer instead of cash on delivery (I actually didn't ask whether the payment is before or after the delivery).
I'm very skeptical about the whole thing. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Some of his ads if anyone wants to take a look:
