Default Is this for real? Ebay users read!

I wanted to purchase a avic-z1 and saw huge price chops on Ebay are these sellers bs?

One of these days, we're all going to sit down and have a "how to use the link feature" pow wow.

the guy says he'll take $400 for the z1 if this is real I would do it in a second!

I tried to send the guy a question and EBAY said it was an invalid item.

I was ready to jump on that deal. He said he has many of them.

The guy has 100% feedback

I paid $1800 for mine (and that was a good deal)

I also added a SIR-PNR1, GEX-P10XMT, ND-BT1 and CD-IB100II

Ford are STILL paying for Sirius and
XM with a little sweet-talkin' took $10/month for XM+NavTraffic

Still looking at buying an iPod BUT if I did have one, I could at least play it in the car (integrated)

invalid item... [:@]

someone let me know if they find out it's real and there's more. i'm in the market for one and figured i'd be paying 1600-1800 bucks.

I'm assuming this is the guy...
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZttyfongQQhtZ-1

I was gonna bite it and take a chance, but I noticed his positive feedbacks are from random alpha-numeric users with zero feedback, yet he's been a member since Apr 2004. It gets worse when you actually view the auctions that the feedback was left for.

It's definitely a scam. Stay far away. I might swallow my principles if it looked like it was simply grey market import stuff, but it looks like straight up thievery.

You could also wait and see what the shmucks, I mean, folks who have bid on them say later. The current bidders are legitimate eBayers so, who knows.

That wasn't him, he had 100% feedback and has been a member for a while. He lives in New York it says. Also most of the feedback is from him buying things and they are from real people that have feedback. He said he has multiple units but I find it scammish that he wants to do most of the transaction outside of Ebay through Washington Mutual.

I went ahead and emailed the guy to his outside email address that was linked in the auction.

I asked whether it was gray market items.

I also asked why he had no buy it now for $400 since he stated that in his auction.

He replied today and did not answer either question. He simply told me to email him my info and we would do the transaction through western union.[sm=badidea.gif]

Red flags flying everywhere with this guy.

I knew it was too good to be true but I had to see what he would say.
