What's up with ads for $70,000 speakers selling


for $5,500? Martin Coltrane for $5,500, Wilson Max ll for $6,500 two days ago. The sellers are from Europe with zero feedback. This is becoming the norm and I am disappointed with this trend of dishonest sellers permeating this site.

LOL! Bill, c'mon, you shouldn't need AudiogoN to point out such an obvious scam. In case you missed the memo, Audiogon has changed. There's no turning back now...full speed ahead (reverse?).
Not just Audiogon. I had my E-bay A/C taken over by changing the password and about $1000,000 of stuff put on with a 3 day sale, speakers, Audi', BMW's. I was around and told E-bay. Obviously looking for folks who don't check their A/C frequently.
In the strongest possible terms, I recommend exercising extreme caution.

Not sure if anyone remembers, but several months ago a seemingly authentic looking/appearing e-mail went out asking members to verify their accounts. I happen to know the fallout of that left some accounts hijacked. Soon afterward, classifieds popped up offering noticeably attractive (though not too good to be true) deals from sellers with strong feedback ratings, and though you could tell the member was obviously based in the USA, the sellers were always overseas - usually Eastern Europe.
