SA3250HD cable box and JVC HM-DH5U D-Theater VCR with perfect results.
Not likely in Aberdeen!

Quote:
If you really want to own my item you can buy it now for only 3000USD negociable.


Contact me with all the questions that you have only if you are really interested in buying my item.
Suddenly his English turns bad in the "contact" statements!


Why don't you just bid on it then tell him you'll colect? You'll never hear from him again!

Done !


feel free to be a BarCo 1209s owner and outbid me!


you gonna have to go over $12k.....
MOD(s)


If you read this any chance of some sort of anti scam thread that people can posts scams on but once that auction has finished those related posts are deleted....


to keep it up to date?


Or set up a "master" scam thread......and get each person to delete their posts when each auction is removed or finished.


ALSO a list of old scams item numbers to help relate to other scams?


I just hate to see people waste hard earnt cash on anything that does not exist.......

Let me check... mmm... no, sorry, can't outbid you!


You just had to have it didn't you :D? Do post when he contacts you, something like "sorry, I'm in Greece but the pj's in Aberdeen" but in a much poorer English. Something like (this is one I got):

I saw that and was going start a thread and label it Andy's ebay scam, since it was a Barco.:)


Ericglo
Andys new Barco would have been OK.


the 801s finally came down from its perch today........


the 1209s goes up as a temp fill in and then I will have room for my NEW TEST BED.......


gonna try and build a 4 PJ test rig - only for 2 at a time testing but room to work on them while I do.......


I got LC harware, new tubes, lenses like every one ever made!,


the test rig will have a pair of 1208s/E and 1208s/2


BUT I need some boards for one of the 1208s/2's (controller, + most of the main boards - I used them to get all the others running) - In case there are any waiting new homes !!!


I also have a pair of 1208/2 but am going to sell them and the 801s.

Email the seller and tell him you will go pick up the projector and he can demonstrate it to you there and then you pay him and take the projector.


If he is unable to accomplish that, he might be unable to get his final value fee (eBay commission) refunded if you refuse to pay him in a different fashion or order and he lets the deal die as a result.

ehhhh?!?!? This was more than 2 months ago. I told him I'd pick up never heard from him again. eBay later tell me that was an hijacked account. Sorry, I don't get it? should I help a scammer get a commission back :D????
