Something looks weird about this auctions?


I was just looking at around the net and stumbled upon this auctions on ebay that have their descriptions taken from Audiogon adds word for word and picture by picture.
Check this links,

Auctions by the seller on ebay

Same exact Dynaudio speaker pictures and description on Agon

Same pass labs X350 add description on Agon

Same McIntosh MA6500 description and picture on agon

I'm sure the legit sellers on Agon are probably not aware that their add are being copied.Now if this seller on ebay doesn't smell fishy I don't know what is? Buyer beware.

Thanks for the info...I wish we could take this SOB 'out to the barn' for a little ol'fasion lesson in etiquette
I emailed the 2 bidders this afternoon on the speakers and told them to look at the ads here and that this person or person's were probaly putting up false ads. I also emailed the seller asking him or whom ever how they just happened to have 3 identical ads from here at Audiogon including the home or business pictures of the speakers. I notice now that when I go back to ebay that the speaker ad is gone, but the McIntosh and the Pass Labs ad is still up, almost word for word as they were before. I'm going to keep checking these ads to see if anybody bids on them, and if they do I will email the bidders. We don't need people like this and I believe it's up to us to help out other audiophiles. As if I watch out for you, I hope someone is watching out for me.
The seller emailed me back and said he was legit - I told him he was being questioned on another site about possible fraud ads. It is very interesting that the Dynaudio ads disappeared. Let's keep up the work on getting these frauds! He told me I could go and see the amp if I didn't believe - I felt like saying I would be right over - just happened to be in the country.
It's know wonder this guy has no feedback. Hat's off to everyone on this thread for helping catch these types of scams. Rest assure this kind of activity will always be around. Maybe someday the FBI will get involved and start catching some of these people. We can never let are guard down EVER!!!
Thank you for bringing this up - it is a real service.

I asked a two questions on eBAY the other day and the seller said it would not sell to me because it wasn't comfortable with me asking so many questions. When I traced the address it gave the address did not exist. Who has time to think up these scams? Frankly I never thought about checking up like this until it carped about a legitimate question, namely "Are all the tubes pictured included in the product you are selling me?"

Now we are invaded by grey market equipment at popular prices...I'm going verified on A'gon.

Caveat emptor, caveat lector.
