Greetings all!
I recently sold a pair of Bang and Olufsen RL 60.2's on ebay. At first, a kid messaged me who said his aunt wants to buy him his first stereo as an early Christmas present.
"Okay" I thought, this person is probably younger and is just getting into stereos. after an exchange of messages (of which he sent me three in a row, two times) he told me his aunt does not have an ebay account and that she is going to wire transfer him some money to buy these speakers (kind of an advanced and complicated method to get funds for a pair of speakers). fast forward a few hours, and someone else bought the speakers. He messaged me saying his aunt had made an ebay account so she could buy them.
His aunt has 0 feedback on ebay, and the kid who talked to me has over 300 feedbacks, all 100% positive which his kind of weird. it also says he joined ebay in 2003 so I don't think it is a kid, however tis strange that his aunt would be buying him his first stereo, as his profile says he's been on ebay for 15 years so clearly he's an older person and I just find it strange that he's never owned a stereo before and that his aunt is buying it for him.
Is this some elaborate scam or something?
