nannerneck Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I came across this site and maybe I am missing something here, but is'ant this a great deal. I do'nt know that much about tubes but sounds like a great deal. Thought maybe some of the tube guys would like to see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev313 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Got it. Looks too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfyr Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 An EASY way to check it out and to cover your rear is to use www.escrow.com If its phony, your exposure is limited to no more then the shared escrow fee. But by doing that, it would significantly shorten the speculation regarding the speculation about the speculation of the speculation on this site - so for some that would be sufficient reason to simply go ahead anyway and to eat the loss and consider it a cheap price for enabling the opportunity to cry about being taken![] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Choi Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 You are correct. Somehow, most of the deals on Audioweb are SCAMs from SE Asia using phony escrows and/or requiring direct deposit to Indonesia bank accounts, etc. Even the deals supposed to be from US, once you contact them, they are overseas sellers... I would recommend staying away from Audioweb until they clean it up. Ki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillH2121 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Yeah, can't be real - that's a $12,000 amp. I have the knockoff MC 2102 and it retails for $6,000. They are incredible tube amps. At $1000 apiece, give me 5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 That is indeed, too good to be true. Would be interesting to see what the "seller" says if contacted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 yup, Mac and KT88s for $1K? I'll take one...[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannerneck Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sometime in the future I might try tubes to push my mains, but I'm not going to put that much money just starting out. That sale just left me a little "Dazed & Confused".[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robster Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Several months ago on Audioweb I saw a Mint Marantz 10B tuner for $1200,it was in Asia. If it sounds like a duck,walks like a duck,it's got to be a duck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubes for life Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 There's a zero missing. If not, give me all they can get there hands on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
