Anyone seen this shyster on Ebay before?

[Dlite1503559993]

Thanks Dlite... I think you may be right, anyone know about thier reputation or had dealings with them?  A lot of items start very low and seem to have autobids on them, was thinking about the Klipsch SF2's if they went for a low price.

ie here?

Klipsich are good speakers though they are far too forward for my tastes. Combined with a Digital AMP like the Panny's I'm sure these things would just shreek. But in the right system they could be quite good, I would say they are better for HT than music.

I'd agree there too makes some awesome ht systems but yes make sure you have a good long listen and it does not start getting on your nerves wit hextended listening.

thanks alain and dlite - much appreciated... think i might wait before i rush and hopefully find some pre loved ones from one of the purists on the forum... I did have a pair of KG4's previously and did like the sound, paired with a Sony amp.

I reckon one of us if living anywhere close to this charecter should actually pop around to have a look.

Surely given the huge dba membership must be somewhere living around the corner from him. !

I think it was Dlite, who said they had bought off him before. Could be mistaken.

jonalanat, was obviously just suspended. Now back in all his glory! Wonder how long he will last this time?

[Carrera1963]

I bought some speakers from him a while ago - nothing dodgy about the auction (no shill bidding), and got them for a good price.

These recent auctions seem a bit suspect though...

Yep it was me, I met the guy had no problems with him... his feedback is genuine... I don't think he was suspended, probably just waiting on a shipment from where ever he gets his gear.

His methods are a little dubious, although I think it is aimed at maximising his profit rather than any con job or improper dealings.

Can't remember where he lives exactly... somewhere not far from here if I remember correctly. Fairfield I think.

He was an unregistered user for the past few weeks.

Seems only a suspension, or he succesfully argued his re-instatement. Which ever, he is playing on the extreme limits, of ebay policies. Good luck jonalanat, you'll need it!

So, I'm a newbie here.....

How exactly do you lose money.....

is it a matter thaqt you end up paying for something that you NEVER get.......?

or is it something to do with the auction itself........?

Fingers.

It's really about the questionable practices, he employs in his sales.

Dont really know, whether you would recieve your goods without any hassles. Not really game to give it a shot. Not this sucker!!! :ph34r:

You always get what he is selling... the problem is in the methods he may or may not use to get the prices he gets and ending auctions early.

Another guy that is a little questionable is Boris (Hndzoff is his ebay Id) but once again you always get what you pay for, he just ends auctions early if they are not going to reach the price he needs (ie his cost price).

Smells like using ebay as cheap advertisement, with little to no intention of paying the final value fee. Thats fair enough, I would'nt treat buyers in that fashion, but hey, everyone else is not me. Good luck to them!

It all comes down to a little thing called "Kama".

[scottylans]

Also watch out for an eBay seller named '3bayOz' who frequently has both old and new Linn equiment for sale, usually with a ridiculously low starting price. The provenance of the items he is selling are dubious and certainly not from official Australian import channels. Items have frequently been withdrawn, relisted etc.

Damn, he has some Tannoy Revoloution R2 speakers up on ebay which look really good ..... I was considering bidding.

EDIT: I guess if he's importing them from Singapore could they be fake, or still the real deal from Tannoy?

Who knows? Take your own chances with that!

That'd be the one, Mr barber

My Ebay account got compromised....meaning someone got all my detials

Ebay emailed me saying they have changed my password to be on the safe side..

So I had to change everything just to be sure....user name and a really long password

[zorg1503559539]

that sucks toet with the amount of money ebay have you really think they should have better security.... whats wrong with a password and PIN?

[Guest Conifer]

What really gets to me is.......the communication through EMAIL!!!!!

They gave me some intructions to follow and they were so poorly written out!

I work on a IT help desk and you can't assume people know what your talking about even if they use your product.

I said to the lady, can I please contact you via phone instead of this throwing of emails everywhere!!

Oops, you had better delete your account and/or change everything *via the ebay website*. You have been fooled by one of the oldest tricks in the net book, which is harvesting your details by sending you an email that is formed to look like it came from ebay, but is actually just a (poorly written, they all seem to be!) "fisching" email to get your details and password.

Well, that is what it sounds like to me. (I get heaps of "your Barclays bank account has been compromised, please confirm your details *here* to re-activate your account" and such emails lately, very poor grammar in most of them too, and of course I don't actually have a Barclays bank account, but I guess it is one of the more popular banks in the world so they will fool someone with a message like this).
