Scam dealer on Ebay?

      " Not sure why you are defending their obvious bad practice."
I am not defending them, however since all the products have a "Make an Offer" option the asking price is not the last price. By using the offer button one can essentially create their own discount. If they accept your offer, you are paying what you want to pay. If they don't, no deal.
I just don't see the scam.

"  Ebay is the home of the big scam or Craig's list if you like getting scammed this is were you go."

I have done over 4000 transactions on eBay since 1999, both buying/selling and hundreds on Craigslist since it started. Also have used, Audio Mart ( including way back then you would get the classified ads in the mail), Audio Asylum, Audio Circle & AudioGon. I have never scammed anyone or have been scammed.

I don't see any scam!

There is a big difference between a scam or price gouging and listing an item at a higher price than you yourself might think prudent or fair or whatever. It’s quite possible that the seller is not sure of what to ask in terms of price so he’s listing it at a very high price to make sure he isn’t the one taken advantage of. It's a common strategy and I thunk a good one, to list high and gradually reduce the price until it sells. Certainly better for the seller than say running an auction. If you think the price of ANYTHING listed on eBay is too high or unreasonable you certainly don’t have to buy it. Get real! The fact that an item - any item - hasn’t sold could mean the price is too high. It all depends. Sometimes things sell for ridiculously LOW prices. Not everyone who lists on eBay is a genius.
