You've just got to look at all the items listed by this scammer here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINT-PIONEER-SX-1980-AM-FM-Stereo-Receiver-1-owner_W0QQitemZ320008139084QQihZ011QQcategoryZ6780 8QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) - it's like a who's who of everything desireable and high-end in the hi-fi world. :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

I've already reported the scumbag to eBay, so look quick before all the listings get pulled. After all the hi-fi components is a bunch of very expensive scopes, spectrum analysers etc - this guy sure likes his electronic toys.

Too late - eBay have pulled all 250+ listings less than 5 minutes after I reported the scammer - I'm well impressed (for once).

Gone already.

What was on the list?
It was a Pioneer SX-1980 which led me to the scammer in the first place, but also listed were a whole bunch of Krell, McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Wilson Benesch, B&W, Audio Fidelity, Naim, Meridian, Audio Research, Linn Sondek, Nakamichi stuff - pre & power amps, cd players, transports etc.
The test gear included high-end scopes, spectrum analysers etc from the likes of Tektronix, LeCroy, HP.

It must have taken the scammer a lot of effort to amass all those listings, and although I don't like to say it he certainly had damn good taste!!
