Any Experience with BCS Gadgets?


Does anyone have any experience buying high end gear from this company, which appears to be located in Pennsylvania? I posted a wanted-to-buy ad on another site for a specific amplifier and received a response from a fellow representing this company along with a link to their website. Sure enough, there are quite a few high end items there for sale, along with other electronics, appliances, and so forth. But still, the whole thing feels a bit borderline to me.

If anyone has any experience with BCS Gadgets, please advise. Thanks!

Me too I posted wanted to buy Cary audio 805 next day somebody text me

does anybody have experience with them?

Right. Certainly a scam, but they (he?) are pretty good at it. They even sent me a photo of the amp with my name and current date written on a sheet a paper placed on the amp. You would have to be at least somewhat tech savvy to notice that it was a photo shop job. I asked for a physical address and got back what appeared to be an empty warehouse in Philadelphia. "Great!" I wrote back. "I have a relative who lives in Philadelphia who will be glad to drop by and pick up the amp for me. He will pay full price in person!" Suddenly, another buyer had materialized and bought the amp out from under me. In the space of five minutes.

For anyone posting a WTB ad, buyer beware. Scammers are getting more sophisticated than they used to be.

Yeah, the Mark Levinson ML3 for $1000 is way too good to be true.  Seriously, a 200W Mark Levinson stereo power for $1000?   I'd buy four at that price!

Hardly. I asked for some pics of the amp--a Vitus RI-101 Mk2--and received instead some pics of an Ayre amp with today's date. Also, the "payment platform" is momentarily down, so I'll need to pay by wire transfer instead of using a card or Paypal. Red flags? What red flags?

The contact phone number is for a number in Britain.  The area code is for "mobile services".  Hardly inspires confidence.
