Sansui G-22000- a few red flags

Register to hide this ad
The item number you listed is of the suspicious ad. The previous ad was:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sansui-G-22000-...wItem&pt=Receivers_Tuners&hash=item1c1315707d

The picture is certainly the same. It could be a scam, especially since the seller only has feedback from 2 previous sales and all of a sudden has about half a dozen nice pieces on sale. Or could just be a lazy seller.
That free shipping certainly is tantalizing although the likelihood of poor packing is high.
 
Doesn't completely pass the "sniff test", IMO. Might be legitimate, but without further information/confirmation, I'd only go for that if it were local pick-up, and even then I'd take a few precautions. Better to miss out on a potential buy, than to lose a good chunk of money to a scamster!
 
1 picture that isnt theirs with no other comments other than a copy and paste of specs and a offer of free shipping via 1st class mail which we all know thats BS, USPS wont ship anything over 70lbs this weighs 96lbs unpacked so yes no doubt a scam or a very stupid lazy seller.

I emailed the seller, we'll see what the response is.
One would certainly ship this in 2 packages which would allow "first class" mail, would be a heck of a big envelope. I'm thinking probably parcel post.
My voes with lazy (it's all the rage these days) and the "ship free" box was inadvertently checked.

I emailed the seller as well, and asked for more pictures and a serial number. Her response with pics and serial number. It is the same exact pictures and serial numer of the last 22000 which sold last week. She or he asked me if i wanted to offer a buy it now as well. I told her no, because others have already bid on the receiver.

Should be reported before someone gets ripped off.
