If it's too good to be true....


I am currently looking at two listings from the same person (same manufacturer too)on AudioGon classifieds, CD player and Integrated amplifier. Stated "like new", they each are being sold for about $600 less than retail. Latest model's too. Person's rating for transaction is high (100+). So what's the problem? Possibly class "B"? Are all Audiogon Classified lister's on the up and up? What should I be aware of?

Thnx.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of the previous advice.

However, as a first screen, you may want to take a look at the actual feedback of the seller and not just rely on the absolute number. In several cases, fraudulent sellers seem to have assumed dormant seller accounts, salted them with one or two recent feedbacks, and then listed various high ticket items (audio equipment, plasma TV's, PCs) at too good to be true prices.

If you are looking at the "New" Creek gear, this screen would say do some more due diligence on the seller.
