And, knowing that it's a good way to launder five figures, it makes it much easier for smaller laundering transactions. I'm not saying the godfather is pushing his hundreds of millions through ebay, but mid-level transactions can be easily placed back into a legitimate bank this way. Sell something at just under $10k, ship a box with a few bricks to a po box, take a reasonable hit on fees compared to more complex laundering, and the money is in your legit account. Done and done!
So did you happen to pick up the pair near Seattle? If so, you beat me to them. I had a deal with the guy to wait until Monday when I could borrow a pickup. I offered to sent him a deposit on paypal but he said it was not needed. He sent me a note Monday morning and said they were sold
They looked like nice ones for a decent price...

I didn't have any use for the second pair
Very good dilemma to have.

cl sellers can be funny, they normally just want a done deal...
waiting on a potential tire kicker is so unappealing when buyer with cash in hand is standing on porch knocking.

There was a one owner pair allegedly in pristine condition on the Madison, Wis CL last December for $800. I called 30 minutes after the ad was posted and they were already sold. A couple of months later my EV Sentry III's in blonde in wrapper-like condition complete with the SEQ box found me so no buyers remorse on the 19's. There are more Altec Model 19's to be had out there but my Sentry III's can't be replaced.

I'm glad you think I'm talking BS...let the facts speak for themselves.

Vintage Altec Lansing 19 Studio Monitors Hi-Fi Speakers Mint Condition
Also, it would behoove you to look at the seller and see the caliber of gear that he's sold recently.
I actually inquired to discuss how he shipped them and get additional details about another pair of rare technics speakers that he has for sale. Nice guy and definitely a legitimate sale.
He didn't sell them overnight...it took a couple months but they did sell for $7500

Wonder how much he wants for Wilson? 
It had been raised to $750.
The Ebay ad say's "Ended" . . . . NOT "Sold" Big diff

Ugh...
Search altec 19 on eBay and look at completed sales...they SOLD for $7500...trust me.
This ain't my first eBay rodeo
I remains skeptical myself but who knows, lightning sometimes strikes twice and maybe he found a live one.
Even if all went down as it appears, it's definitely an outlier and it will be a long time before you see another pair change hands for that kind of coin.
Thanks.
EDIT: "Completed Sales" in green or otherwise appearing under "SOLD" listings absolutely does not necessarily mean the item was actually sold - and/or for the amount shown. Trust me.

Guess what - I have not gotten paid and still have it.
So much for that theory.
As I had stated, I remain skeptical only. I did not assert it did not happen.
Hope you had an enjoyable discussion with the gentleman.
That proves nothing

What are you talking about??? If a completed listing $$$ amount is greens then it sold...but there's the question whether it got paid for and shipped...I've personally confirmed that did occur.
I'm not sure what sort of proof you're looking for but this is getting a bit ridiculous.
