One of the many reasons I don't facebook.

Price reduced from $599 to $90? Seems too good to be true.

Yeah, and that generally holds true - meaning if it seems to good to be true it probably is. The original price for what is depicted in that listing seems too low by at least a factor of 10. The discounted price of $90 wouldn't even cover shipping. The listed weight is over 75 lbs.

 

[Stillhouse]

Yup, everything about that smells mighty fishy.

 

[tom67]

It's gotta be fraud with the weight and price. Funny, but if it was priced at $999 some people here might be interested.

Looks like a shinny POS ......

My wife attempted to buy something off the Facebook Marketplace, but it turned out to be a scam site masquerading as a legitimate vender (Macy's).. when she sent the PayPal payment it flipped to some company China. PayPal ended up returning her $99

"If it's too good to be true...!"

In theory looks like a deal.


A $500 shipping charge might make you think twice...maybe more.

my God they're like rabbits , multiplying everywhere !

 

[Man in Cave]

I saw these on FB once before, maybe a couple years ago. Back then there were many models discounted unbelievably. I believe it's safe to assume it's a scam. Certainly after Drumaniac posted a site with the real price. I'll admit it's damned tempting.

Best cheap current table in my view is the Audio Technica AT-120xusb. About $230, shipped, with an AT-vm95e cartridge. Copy of the Technics SL-1200 series, not as durable but very good for the money. A worthy upgrade is the 95 series microline stylus that fits the shipped cartridge. I like the idea of the U-Turn tables but in my view the AT table is a less-futzy design, has a cue lever, etc. With the price this low, these scam tables are not worth looking at IMO.

Do prospective buyers get a free tube of KY jelly with each order? Roll up your sleeves and bend over. What the buyer REALLY gets is a picture of the Project turntable for their $99.

I’d buy their warehouse full - if I thought it were real.

The Pro-Ject Signature 12:is way more than 599 new.
This is a total SCAM!

3 months to build ?

specs says 34.3 kg. You're not getting 34.3 kg of nothing for 90 bucks. Not even dirt or table salt.
