DoubleJ Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I had the same thought as well.. Either we are smoking the same thing or there may be something to this. JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Klipsch La belle speakers Are they the Patti LaBelle models that only play Disco and R&B? It's amazing how much Kitchener, Ontario looks like Salisbury, Maryland. I sent Al an email and a PM regarding this. Good work Johnny!

Daddy Dee Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I've e-mailed the seller a question about the mods to the HF section. It will be interesting to see how he responds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meagain Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 As a poweseller, I despise these scammers. But it REALLY pisses me off when they mess with Klipsch. Now - I gotta say this cuz it bothers me.... fake bidding on these things just encourages them to do it again. They are trying to score a quick sale, take the money & run. Bidding on their auctions only makes them think it will work either now or in the future. The $1200 khorn scammer with the yellow text at the top & s/h of $40 - with 6+ pages of scam will only keep gang-relisting because he sees bids. Out of 6 pages and say 4 auctions with bids - his chances go up that he can score. Bidding only encourages him to keep at it again & again. He's got a bid on those khorns right now. I further think it slows down Ebay's system as they have to auto-send emails to the bidders, cancell the bids, etc. as opposed to just plain nuking the auctions. I beyond respectfully dissagree with this fake bidding concept. Bad idea IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvette6769 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I agree with meagain. Another thing to keep in mind is that this seller may actually turn out be legit and just "borrowed" a picture for his auction. The reason I mention this is that unlike most scammers, he only has the one single auction posted and not through a stolen account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill H. Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Al, It took them awhile, but the listing is cancelled! This listing (#6029466318) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number. If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay. Try searching for another item now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieboy Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Mabye a quick offer of 300 bucks and he'll make an outside Ebay sell?[:$] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvette6769 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Mabye a quick offer of 300 bucks and he'll make an outside Ebay sell?[:$] He would have to...."No longer a registered user". Apparently eBay had further reason to cancel the auction than just the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intotubes Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Mabye a quick offer of 300 bucks and he'll make an outside Ebay sell?[:$] Just for kicks I asked what his BIN price was. He says: "Hello there, The buy it now price for the item is $1000 , tell me if you want to make a deal. Thank you!" If you didn't think it was a scam you should have no doubt now.

Apparently eBay had further reason to cancel the auction than just the picture. I was being sarcastic I would not advocate trying to deal with a scammer outside ebay. It was just a poke at offering 300 bucks for Belles. MY bad.[:#] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
