I've run accross a couple of MX-135 pieces for sale (online auctions) at what seem to be low low prices ($1500). I'm not very familiar with McIntosh HT gear but it seemed to be that these prices are too good to be true?

Even when the prices are at about market, you still have to be careful. I've been ripped off on Ebay, it's the worst. Guy, Jason Martinez of New Mexico defrauded me of 1500.00 for a CS350 center in 2003. You will have very limited options if you are ever ripped off. The FBI or US Postal service will be of no help.They just collect stats about online crime regardless of what they will tell. Basically, you if you are ripped off you will have to take the person to court and win. Even then you'll have a judgement that the criminal will never pay. I know that this sounds like it can't be true but it is. You will be on your own to try and recover your money.

Kevin M. I too have been the victim of Ebay and Paypal, however, if you are a verified member of paypal (adding a checking account) you will get a full refund after a short investigation on Paypal's end. I won't buy anything without using paypal for that reason. That being said, I rarely use ebay or paypal anymore. Too many dishonest people ready for a quick scam. Sorry to hear about your loss. That is a lot of money to throw away.

I would think that between Paypal buyer protection and a major bank credit card one would have some options if a transaction goes south. I'll bet - at least on Paypal's end - that there is a lot of red tape though.

MX-135 should be around $5k on the used market and the MX-119 should be around $4k. You may find a $500 variance in either direction but, if its more than that its a scam priced for a quick sell.
