Duplicate Serial Numbers

As I was browsing A'Gon, I came across a pair of speakers for sale with the same serial numbers as mine, which I bought from the manufacturer directly. In my experience, serial numbers typically are unique. So, might this be a mistake or could the ones for sale be fakes? I've already written to the manufacturer (have yet to hear back), but was curious as to your opinions. Thanks.

It could be that he used a stock photo instead of actually taking a picture of his speakers.   Are yours the same finish?

So what I meant is maybe he used a picture of your speaker he copied from mfg site

Model numbers are not unique, but serial numbers are specific to that item.

It isn't unusual for scammers to find photos off the internet--often from a closed sale transaction years earlier.  I was looking at an amp and had a bit of alarm, call is a mild yellow on my BS meter.  I google searched the photos, found them on an ad on a small audio site that closed 2 years earlier, and confirmed the scammer did not have the amp.  I pretended I wanted to buy it and got far enough to indentify her as a lady with red hair in Nigeria but was unable to do anything across international borders.  Use google photo search to see if the photos are elsehwere on the internet.  --Jerry
