Just to warn anybody here off this one....Exact same photos and exact same description are lifted from a legit listing about two weeks ago.
Other significant indicators all point to : scam.
Thought you guys would like to avoid this.

...this a**hole has been perpetrating this fraud for at least a month now and on a MASSIVE scale. Every time eBay removes his auctions (of which there are usually several, all high ticket items listed under hijacked account names), he puts them back up again. I only became aware of this when an expensive turntable a friend of mine sold appeared again with the same description under a different username.Seriously, when is eBay going to catch up with this guy? He must have some sort of system - the email address changes all the time but the layout of the auctions are always identical and so are easy to spot. Unbelievable that someone can get away with this shit for so long.
This is the same guy or as I say "Technics team of scammers" that also do this with the popular Technics 1200 'tables and Pioneer digital dj 'tables AND many more items...who knows how big this really goes . These scammers have been doing this for almost 2 years when I first began to see the too-good-to-be-true deals on turntables all with same photos and descriptions. The HUGE giveaway is the "E-mail me/us before you bid @.....for a low remarkable Buy It Now Price or deal"......A legit seller would just give you that option directly on the same listing(because they are hijacking innocent sellers/bidders they may not have the full capability or something in the eBay system does not allow them to initiate the Buy It Now option---who knows).ALSO, most of those fraud ads, where the seller claims to be from and where the item is being sold from are always different;i.e. seller since 2001 in United Kingdom----Item location Seoul,Korea.I really questioned one where the turntable was located in Champagne,IL but the member was from or in Russia?I sent an e-mail to inquire and the ad was yanked.Here's what I would do when I would inquire about the item is actually send an e-mail using the eBay site e-mailing system and ask the "seller" a question about the item. I would also click the hide-your-e-mail address option so that whatever they would send me gets filtered through the eBay e-mailing system.Every time I did that with one of these scam ads 2 things would happen:
1. I would get an automated legit e-Bay fraudulent notice and that the ad has been pulled.-----When you send an e-mail to the seller it trips the system or something in the eBay security mail system picks up on this (don't know how it does,but it does) and the fraud ad disappears shortly...The other reason could be that hopefully the real owner of account checks their eBay e-mail frequently enough to report it to security.
2. The ACTUAL and legit owner of account would contact me and also tell me that their account has been hijacked and would thank me for alerting them.
These jerks may change the wording just a little around, along with their e-mail addresses to contact them and maybe alternate the stolen photos of the item---BUT the ad-bid format and wording they use stinks of fraud...

In this case, I've had transactions with the real seller and knew of the real buyer from many a 301 sniping-duel ..... both of whom are legit.This (linked) seller is neither of those and clearly a scam.

Yeah, he has an EMT listing too. Somebody else has the same EMT listed with the same picture!
