" ebm+1 Mostly marons get scammed!
Ebay is the home of the big scam or Craig's list if you like getting scammed this is were you go."
I have done over 4000 transactions on eBay since 1999, both buying/selling and hundreds on Craigslist since it started. Also have used, Audio Mart ( including way back then you would get the classified ads in the mail), Audio Asylum, Audio Circle & AudioGon. I have never scammed anyone or have been scammed.
" Not sure why you are defending their obvious bad practice."
I am not defending them, however since all the products have a "Make an Offer" option the asking price is not the last price. By using the offer button one can essentially create their own discount. If they accept your offer, you are paying what you want to pay. If they don't, no deal.
I just don't see the scam.
