buyer beware of late

Hello every one !
Is there anyone know anything about this specific member who posted a cremona auditor speaker for sale for a $ 1,000 last Nov.24,2005.well as you said it is so hard for some of us (buyer)to decide if we are going to purchase item from a seller who have a zero FB,but we always want to be the first
buyer to an item which at very low price.Anyway i did not get lucky on this one,IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE GOT VICTIMIZED BY THIS USERNAME Karenmaguire ?Please let me know.Thanks.

Wow, your post was allowed? I posted regarding the same concerns last week and was blocked. I knew the B&W speakers were too good to be true so I questioned the seller and asked for a phone #. He replied that he is deaf and cannot use a phone. Maybe that's why the B&W's bright highs don't bother him!!! There appears to be a proliferation of these new members with deals that are questionable. I pray that management can prevent this from suffering the same b.s. as Ebay and Audioweb.

I agree with Thanhn387

COD is an excellent way to insure a legitimate transaction with a zero feedback seller. Personally, I think FedEx has the best COD system (Air only, doesn't apply to FedEx Ground).

You can use FedEx "Express Saver" up to 150 lbs., the cheapest air service (3 day guaranteed). COD costs $4.50 more and here's what you get as a seller: Before handing over the item, FedEx will collect ONLY a certified or cashiers check from the buyer made out to you the seller. Ask the buyer for the bank's name, phone number, and the check number after he draws it so you can call the bank and verify its authenticity before delivery. FedEx will then overnight the check back to you (no extra charge) so you can deposit it the next day.

If you are the buyer, this is a way of assuring the seller that you have made the payment, that it is not counterfeit, and that he'll have it the next day.

I saw the Sonus Faber ad and it seemed way too good to be true.....if it was a scam it was cleaverly placed..

My apologies if this ad was legit, but it really seemed too good to be true.
