Got a message from a "suspended" member

Hi folks! I've been looking for a good used Luxman EQ-500 phono amp (115v US-spec only) and got a message about one from a person that I can't reply to because the account is flagged as "user suspended". I'm assuming this is a warning that he or she is likely a scammer?

Priced well below market value is classic scammer bait and user suspended.

I would move on.

Pass. If they really want to sell, they probably would put an ad on US Audiomart. Take a look over there. But it doesn’t sound legit at first glance.

I went and picked up a near mint, in original double boxes US-spec Luxman EQ-500 on Friday. It was one that had been posted on US Audiomart once or twice before, but a deal fell through. 

 

The seller was on Long Island NY but agreed to meet me with it at his office in New Rochelle NY. That saved me about another 3 hours of battling NYC area traffic. I spent a total of 5 hours 15 minutes in my car, about $29.50 in fuel, 292 miles round trip to get it, and it's just incredible! Everything I hoped for, but sound improvement I hadn't anticipated.
