Esoteric DV-60 listed on 8/2/2013. The pictures in the ad hase been used several times before. I sent him / her an email stating I am ready to buy if they post a picture of the back of the unit along with a 3" x 5" card with today's (yesterday's) date. Funny, no response yet.
I will happily eat crow if I a wrong and the ad is legit, but I know for certain the pictures have been used several times before.
And the feedback? $5 purchases get you feedback. Means nothing to me.
I hate thieves.

Thanks for the heads-up Tgyeti. Roxy54 you owe Tgyeti an apology, he/she
was simply trying to be helpful. Caveat emptor indeed!

No, I don't think that I owe him an apology. His concern is valid, and it may indeed be a fraudulent ad, but his cryptic post was not helpful. Now that he has identified the poster, it is helpful, and I give him full credit.

I also have noticed adds with recycled pictures. One idea, which I have not tried, is to ask a public question that raises your suspicion. That way everyone visiting the ad is alerted to your suspicion. If the seller is legitimate they will want to clarify or address the issue. Has any one tried this?

I don't think an apology is owed either. If you have something to say, say it, no need to be cute and cryptic.
