FS:Sennheiser HD800 headphone Only Local Pick up $1050

Hi,

I live in NE Philly! Please email me at baka1969(at)tmo(dot)blackberry(dot)net

Thanks,

Ross

Why are you selling with such a large discount if these high-demand phones are almost new?

Local pickup only?

Seller new to head-fi?

Does anybody else see reasons for caution here? I would verify the ultimate source of the phones before buying.

Dude! 

There are HD800s up that are posted for $1150, and they take weeks to sell.  If this guy is in a hurry, a $100 discount from that level is not unheard of! 

Also, the local pickup is a GOOD sign.  Scam artists typically do not mind "offering shipping" ;)  Plus, anyone who picks up locally can inspect the headphones. 

sheesh

In addition, if it's almost new he should still have the receipt for the buy. So where's the problem?

And, every negative thing about him is just GUESSED !!!  Is this a new democracy?

Don't you like a great deal.

As I do with all new Head-Fi'ers I've dealt with, I am proceeding with caution. If you read through my feedback you'll see I've done business with several newbies. Also, local pickup/delivery has advantages that give-your-money-blindly-and-hope-for-a-good-outcome doesn't have. Especially since I won't use PayPal. I'll get to test the equipment first.

Don't jump to any conclusions yet. If you see my impressions of a HD800/T1/HE-6/HE-5LE comparison you'll know all went well. :)

Peace,

After doing all of my homework I have decided to not deal with this seller. Proceed with caution.

Peace,

Ross

Thanks for the report, Ross. I think my suspicions have been vindicated.

In one of the stickies at the top of the For Sale forum, mbriant the Administrator cautions us to "Please report any suspicious For Sale forum activity to the moderating staff immediately."  So I did, here and in Feedback.

I am very surprised at several comments questioning my motivation.

I will not cast any dispersions. All I will say is I didn't want to complete the transaction. If I don't feel comfortable, I won't do it. If specifics are wanted I will deal with them via PM.

Peace,

Ross
