Genuine Kondo???


Been staring at these two listings and can't work out if they are genuine or not. They have stirred an interest in me at the price as heard and loved them at a dealership a year ago. Price looks good as well. 

Emailed the guy who says he is in Germany, sent me pics of a filled crate and I can visit but he doesn't have PayPal which makes me very suspicious.

This looks more promising but is rather expensive at €13500.

Would welcome your reflections and thoughts on these listings. How would the more experienced of you approach these items?

Thank you for your observations. I am suspicious about the advert for the amp even if reassures me I can visit him and has sent me photos of the crates. There's no way I'd transfer any money without seeing them and getting them checked over. 

Tempted by the DAV but a bit overpriced IMHO.
