Check out the auction today and you'll see the high bidder now listed as "not a registered user". Maybe it was a recreational bidder (the type that like to jake up auction bids) and finally trapped himself as high bidder. No history (within 6 months) suggesting a pattern of shield bidding. Ebay really needs to tighten up their registration process. Maybe credit card with verification of email and P.O. mailing address would catch more of this BS. Still got to wonder about the 2nd highest bidder at over full retail plus freight costs.
Why pay "more" for USED??
Ok, I know you must be thinking this thread is titled wrong, but I just came across an Ebay ad where a pair of B&W Nautilus 802's sold for $8,101 used! To make matters worse they were all screwed up. It has pics of the midrange cabinet all scratched and the ad says the tweeters are dented. I'm beside myself on how someone could spend "over" retail (N802's retail for $8k) for a pair of used speakers that are f'd up anyway. If your spending $8k on speakers don't you do some research first??
Don't believe me? Here's the ad:
