This is a First Class Scam artist. Just registered on the 27th. Zero feedback. All 4 auctions are scams.
Love the price he is "looking to get" for the Polk. $2,500? Yeah, Sure! I'll take a truckload at that price! :^o

the sad thing about deals like this is, that once ebay is notified, and case proved beyond a doubt, they seldom take any action...as in take down the auction.
i have had a few cases like this, and, have discovered a few, and, reported them.
ebay said "oh...we'll look into it, and, thank you for keeping ebay a safe community".
B.S.!!!!!! THEY NEVER TOOK THE AUCTION(S) DOWN, LET THEM RUN TO FRUITION, AND A FEW OF THEM WERE NEVER SUSPENDED.
on the flip side, ebay will immediately suspend good sellers, with a good track record, for a minor, honest mistake, or, a computer glitch, ... which is why i no longer sell on ebay.

They let crap like this go on but they make sure I can't buy slot machine parts because I live in Nebraska. Somebody is going to get taken on these deals. They want to make the deals off ebay and avoid paypal so there will be no recourse.

I have a thought. We could ask this guy for more pictures. He has a number of auctions going. We each ask for more detailed pics of different auctions. He won't have them. Might not help, but might be interesting to hear his excuses.

HI

I emailed him that I can pick up the Polk and pay cash. No reply yet.

If you ask for pictures, do not use his email address. Ask question via eBay mail.

If I miss the Ebay required verbage about legal slots, my listing is removed. But this guy can post somehow, his direct email address right in the listing which I thought was against Ebays policy???
