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.

I just wonder if OP has been mistreated in some way by that seller. Well, he apparently has already because this thread is against his business. Has he earned it for any reason I just wonder...

I’ve already stated that I have not dealt with this person. Nor have I ever been ripped off... except that one time in Paris... Nor have I any ax to grind other than to alert unwary folks to this seller.
Some of the respondents get it but others appear to support a caveat emptor free market philosophy. Each to his/her own.

Alert of what ? High prices ? And who ? Lazy communists ? Audio is full of high prices both new and vintage, have you noticed... So you have not been ripped off on selling forums/sites ? You have been very lucky so far.  Because there are unbelieveable nasty folks on forums/sites waiting for the right time... to scam naiive people for no reason. You are living in a world of illusions. You have already harmed that Japanese´s business with your ignorance and prejudice. Japanese culture is very different in many ways, thank God. Actually you owe an apology to him. Otherwise you start sounding more like a little troll. Take my advice: do yourself and the Japanese a favour and delete this ridiculous thread and move on.
And hell I´m here to defend all honest and sincere sellers. Keep that in your mind. Long live free world, long live free enterprise :)
Sure yeah, and you just desided to be the trolling artist as I initially thought of you (grin).

Folks, didn´t I tell ... darn commies :)
There is a very beautiful Casio G Shock Frogman watch listed on eBay for $29,000. It is a very limited edition designed by a famous Japanese artist. It is a stunner! But is it worth $29,000? You decide. The Casio Frogman is listed by a store that specializes in Casio watches. One wonders if there is any uh, "value added" simply by listing the watch, more or less free advertising, even if it never sells. Hmmmmmm...
