RCA 44bx Check this out, email this guy for his buy it now price, and see what he tells you! I think this is a real scam, I hate this sort of thing. If I am wrong I am sorry, but this thing stinks.
By the way Steve, I decided I need a ribbon!

Here it is 10 minutes later and there are 3 bids.

WHat he say?




JoeSixpack.us

He says he is in Bulgaria on biz and he took the mic with him! Send him $950.00 and we make deal!
I'm pretty trusting but.......

Looks shady to me... his locations reads "Thank you for visiting.
United States " ...and "email for buy it now price"? Either the BIN price is listed on the bid page, or there is none. If he's not willing to pay the dollar or whatever it is to have a BIN, then who knows where else he's skimping...that is assuming, of course, there even is a product...which there prolly isn't...

Thanks for pointing this out!

Buy It Now is only available to eBay users who either:

a) have more than 10 transactions to their name

or

b) pay about $5 to become "verified" by eBay.

I myself paid the $5 years ago when I desperately wanted to list an item as "Buy It Now" that I was selling. They ask for lots of personal info like social security number.

I know intelligent people who will not go through this process for their own intelligent reasons. All I'm saying is, maybe this guy just doesn't want to fork over his SS# over the web. He doesn't have 10 feedback items so he's not eligible yet.

Don't do the deal! I'm only mentioning the other scenario that may apply OTHER than a scam! If you don't buy through eBay, obviously there's no protection from fraud.

War.. Here is why I believe it is a scam.
1 The description is copy and paste from another seller who had mics from this same radio station.

2 I emailed this guy for his buy it now price and he said he was in Bulgaria on biz, and he took the mic with him.

3 He said we could make the "deal" NOW for $950.00

4 I have heard of this scam before. You send money, He sends empty box with tracking #, You watch tracking number for 4-6 weeks from Bulgaria, dudes got your money and you got nothing

I just don't want to see any one getting ripped off, again if I am wrong I am sorry.

It was a scam...ebay pulled the auction.

What you've just typed is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever seen. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

And since we're on the topic of ebay scams:

I tried to sell a Takamine ($2k) recently and I immediately got about 5 'buyers' from Indonesia emailing me privately offering top price:

a) all of them refused to go through ebay and wanted an outside sale

b) all wanted to buy ASAP 'urgent sale'

c) all would only use visa (not international bankdrafts, paypal etc)

I actually thought about it too....before I really thought about it.
My brother checked and was warned by the visa people that they get a lot of fraud from there. Besides other things, a buyer can apparently cancel a visa transaction within 10 days or something - (after you've shipped the goods anyway).

Good info here, it's enough to research and hope for the best with the product itself on Ebay...Yet alone a empty box arriving at your doorstep.
