Another Scam? You be the judge.

[MasterBlaster84]

Here is another highly suspect auction, I wouldn't touch this but how about you?
It's getting really old to see these pop up every few days so I thought I'd post it to raise awareness and hopefully keep more of us from being scammed.

#1 only 1 bad pic of each box
#2 only has boxes for sale
#3 no feedback of any kind
#4 no other items for sale [aside from the other box ]
#5 very vague item description .

any time you have a seller with "0" feedback selling only two items that happen to be boom boxes you gotta wonder

if i was a gambling man i would bet it's a scam , don't like to convict before the facts are in though .

if you wanted to test the seller then ask questions only someone who actually has the box can answer , and ask for lots of pics as well.

Did you notice the pics for both boxes are in completely different settings, usually the settings would be similar or the same if the auctions are from the same seller running at the same time.
I agree that asking specifics, especially more pics is likely going to reveal the fraud whether by bad answers or no answers at all.

i did notice that and it's very strange that anyone selling two boxes would have taken the pics of them in different settings .if i wanted to sell 2 boxes i would photograph them at the same time and place just to make it easier .

i think the seller might have a little info on the boxes , just enough to sound somewhat convincing in the description .
i agree with master blaster in that it's a very questionable seller /auction .

This is a scam, here's the reasons:

1. Google the model. 3rd pic will link you to this: http://www.boomboxery.com/forum/viewtop ... f=2&t=8814
2. Link shows that picture was taken by member Ghettoboom767, located in N.W. Tn. where as the eBay seller is 'located' in Tulsa OK

Do not bid.

P.S. I have alerted Ghettoboom767 to this, and asked for his reply in this thread if he is infact the seller and if not, to contact eBay regarding the fraud.

Good research Stretch, I think that about seals it as a scam.
Running pioneer sk-550 in Google came up with some images on the top and your correct the third pic is the one in the auction.

with all above --
do NOT bid

I can confirm that Jeff (Ghettoboom) is not the seller. The seller, siggysattic92, just got added to the Shiat List.

This shiat is getting serious we need a warning forum just to keep on top of things
Or maybe I just keep buying from Arron
