it's hardly a scam ..
i don't know if it is hardly a scam , my point of view is that it's surely a scam ; so I don't bid .

1.I asked for pictures too , I received a similarly fishy answer , and he didn't list the question/answer on the sale page ... mmm .. dubious behavior not just fishy ..

2. things now become more interesting ..

I'm 95% sure this is a scammer

maybe he is not , again even if interested I wouldn't bet on because I'd have 90% probability to lose my money !

what I understand is that he is not stupid and he is trying to do a clean thing

maybe he is aware someone can see his sales as scams , but he also understand many others don't and they will rely on his 100% feeback/history , so that he will move some nice money into his bank account then disappear without big troubles ..

my opinion , there's a remote possiblity this is not a scammer , but it is very remote ( my point of view ) and at least I would stay away and advice anyone to stay away from his sales .

I would push myself questionin and pressing a bit on this seller to understand his real intentions if I was really interested in his sales ..
If i could I would point any potentional bidder to this thread though
but unfortunately I don't think there's a way to do it

You guys are aware that there are also things like hacked accounts? If someone has had only buy auctions over 4 years and now makes his first offer as a seller, it looks very much like a hacked account. This happens often with digital cameras like the Canon EOS 350D.

the substance doesn't change ..
( with high probabiliy ) it remains scam , a scam ebay auction , and the person who's doing it is a scammer ..
so with high probabiliy another person is going to burn more then 500 of his dollars on it .. maybe a boy , a person who wanted to buy this headphone or dac used low priced from a time and so saved money for some time to put them into it ..

it's surely a thing I would stay away and eventually start investigating ; there are some nice questions one could do to the seller to understand better if the person is definitely a scammer or finally not ; yet the situation lead me to believe the thing is scam

I'm pming the seller that I'm very intentioned getting his used item and I'll ask politely if we can arrange pick up locally in the case I win the auction since the item is very fragile and quite an heavy one
let's see

answer " Sorry , I cannot arrange for local pick-up . But if you win the auction I will cover shipping to Fairview "
