I dont much about this seller or product but there is an ebay store that is selling DaVinci audio products for like 80-90% off of their retail prices. You can find them if you just search, I initially found the DaVinci 2098 for $440 and something is EXTREMELY wrong with that, if its all legit than I'd be all over it in a heartbeat, but I know something isnt right here.

Army,

There are a lot of Ebay Scammers out there pretending to sell mid to high end Audio gear. They tend to run 12-18 hour auctions, and they tend to have a line in thier ad stating your have to e-mail them first in order to bid.

If you e-mail them, they will tell you they are out of the country right now (so you can't call them), and they offer to let you do it a Buy-It-Now, but that you must pay with Western Union.

I don't know if the ad you found is a scam or not, but these are some things you can look for.

Regards,

Darrell

The following pages on the ebay web site may be helpful (I think this forum has rule again direct posting of those URLs):

I didn't look at the auction, but there have been some lately advertising DiVinci stuff that is clearly white van and playing off the DaVinci name.
