C100F Scam?

bashngu - 2008-06-23 04:41

This auction is up on the Bay. Im sure you have seen it but if you look at 99% of the description, it has been copied from our friend Real Estate Items, a.k.a. 2short411 etc.. The seller only has 2 feedback so maybe he/she just doesnt know how to write a description but it looks odd anyway. I noticed that this seller has the serial number printed. Does anyone know if the serial number is different from Real Estate Items Auction?

i like the way they say it's well maintained but it has no cassette door plus he states the msrp is $1,200 bucks what a joke these were under $300.00 new lol.

The seller is supposedly in Miami, Florida, but did indeed copy and paste almost all of Michael Garrett's/2short411's/real-estate-items' auction description.

See the original auctions:

The absolute giveaway is the following line:

The youtube video seems to feature the box in the auction though.

Although I suppose this doesn't mean the auction itself is legit...
