There's a well known paypal collection only scam where something high value is sold, paid for by paypal, and collected.
there follows a SNAD or paypal charge back and the buyer is always reimbursed because there is no proof of posting / tracking.
to be fair... any seller of a collection only item has to be soft in the head to accept paypal. despite what eBay might insist on.

They are Beauhorn clones, quite a few around. Nice Eltax drivers included:D Should be a full range unit. Beauhorn used Fostex FR. Might sound ok if properly sorted. The correct amount of internal stuffing is important.

The real deal

The seller certainly has an unusual selection of other items on offer.

These Vienna Acoustics KISS speakers were not cheap. Stereophile gave them a big thumbs up in their review.

Seller feedback is good.

Seller previous feedback looks genuine and good. Granted, the listing looks a little odd, but many do.

Yes the account has not been used for over a year and everything then was low price items. Now everything is high price all ending exactly same time. The message has been removed for this item but is on at least some of his others.
I would think Al is bang on.

So, not only is this seller ''thick'' at spelling. He/She also has a nasty tendency to aim for the sheeple.

What a loser!!

S.

those are not seller accounts. what you see is where the account bid in past. means it shows only number of bids placed per item from specific sellers ;)
But yeas, this is typical scam so I have reported multiple items from this twat and this account too.
More likely stolen account or fake one created

Following the herd (or flock) apparently. Some of the young uns at work use it to describe such devotees of Apple etc.
Why we all can't just use "proper" words is beyond me :doh:

I've always admired that Sony TT. It's a belt drive and IMO would probably thrash a Linn Sondek!

I seem to remember Technics did one as well, I used to spend time admiring it in the dealers window on the Headrow in LEEDS about 38 years ago. I thought they used VHS cassettes, but I think looking at it that Elcaset was a format of its own so difficult to find now. First one I've seen in all that time.

EDIT: Jesus talk about being like buses, this SONY is about half the price and in better nick.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-EL5-E...3D172155066792

There are a couple of blank tapes, still sealed in the packaging on the bay as well, so not as rare as I had thought.

This is the Technics I remembered: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Technics-R...UAAOSwhcJWOmoO
