Scam dealer on Ebay?


I’ve been noticing an Ebay dealer by the handle "skillful_sailor_japan" selling some good kit at exorbitant prices. Sponsored listings so they come up in your searches. Be careful out there especially if you’re not used to buying online/ebay. An example is a Jelco 250 (retails for $350) for $2000.

No. I did not get scammed. Okay. Done with this. No hard feelings. It just pisses me off when I see this sort of thing. Point taken.

I already explained it. It's not a scam or any such thing. It is a very reasonable strategy for selling on eBay when listing a Buy it Now item. Case closed. 

I've noticed this guy pricing Levinson amps at 3-4 times their used value. I emailed him and asked why is he asking these crazy prices and never did answer lol.  The OP just asked a simple question and figures someone would make a mockery out of it. If you are selling a high end product such as Levinson I am sure you would have a clue what it is worth.

Don't be so sure.  There is a pair of Vandy 5s (not 5As) that's been advertised by the same person on this site for several years.  $6250; factory boxes and HP-5 crossovers extra!

I'm guessing these kind of pricing is based on the "bigger fool" theory of real-estate...no matter how much you paid, there's a bigger fool out there somewhere who is willing to pay more ;-) 'course you see how that model panned out in the great recession.

Just my $0.02.  YMMV.
