This guy is kidding... Right?

This is for the box only,

$499, I want what he is smoking...

Not exactly minty, is it

It's a not uncommon scam. They made a big deal out of it on the various news channels when the PS3 came out and they sold out. A couple empty boxes were sold for the full PS3 price because the buyers didn't check the ad. That's why they never said box.
Always people looking to scam the unwary, naive, and trusting.

Are you sure it's for the box only, did you ask the seller?
Granted I only see the box and some styrofoam but who knows.
Listing title indicates a receiver and not a box.
The listing description is worthless as written.
I'm just wondering as it appears it might actually be a seller involved with audio gear, odd they would choose to list it in this manner.


Tried to report it and can't find a way to navigate the drop down choices for this particular situation.

Totally misleading if it is only the box and styrofoam pieces.

 

[C6Bill]

This seller has 99.8 % positive feedback on almost 1500 sales. Guessing his account got hacked.

 

[Grenadeslio]

Nothing misleading, if you look at the ad it clearly states "box only - rare original box" except he used pictures of a tiny box in place of the word lol.

 

[HiFi in WYO]

Listing is pretty clear .... as long as you understand what the little boxes stand for. Outrageous.

Nope, title says box only.

He wants $3500 for an actual receiver.

 

[ETLS]

How many snad does it take before he has spent that amount?

 

[scoloheros]

I wonder if the box comes with the tape on it. He may take that off and try to sell it later.

 

[nolasally]

Listing is OBO. Im offering seller 20.00!

 

[mikeybc]

I wonder how much without all the broken styrofoam

 

[Karmices]

Thanks for the lead. I'll place a last second bid and snipe this.

 

[Robisme]

If you post with a phone and type box, a pic of a box pops up for you to choose. Maybe he chose the box pic instead of the word.

Looks like it's only for a box to me. A crappy box.

What a dirtbag. If you scroll further down in the description same thing. Picture of a box with "only" right next to it.

 

[goodolpg]

This what I see as the listing title

Vintage Sansui QRX-9001 Quadraphonic Receiver — RARE IN ORIGINAL W/paperwork!

And now the only description says "very rare item" and pictures include a Sansui receiver

that's from the link in teal'c post # 11
There was two revisions, both say BIN price. Nothing about description or picturees added/deleted
maybe it's been changed now.

Sorry for the bold lettering, after cut n paste the listing tile text stayed bolded.

Ok, where someone(s?) see a box in the title listing I only see a square black outlined box, not the actual box that Grenadeslio posted.
