I have offered this send this guy 200 cash, plus whatever he wants for an audio to Braille converter and he still wants to beat me up in price. How greedy.

 

[incognitoedleon]

Great thread folks! If anybody new really wants to contact him about the headphones, I think we should come up with a better cover story than everybody saying "my friend told me about this auction..."


Just click the "contact buyer" button on his profile and mention that you saw the auction and you're interested if it's still available since the listing is gone.

Then take it from there

Just read his feedback, and he stated this:

He has a collection department, huh? Someone make him trip over himself with this one.

Usually chronic lying takes the form of, "Yeah, and after I drank a full bottle of whisky and beat up those three linebackers, then I took two girls home. It was rough though cus I was drunk and I had to outrun the police, and good think I didn't get caught because I keep a machine gun in my car. You know, just in case." But this is something else entirely. I mean, he probably doesn't know who we are, but headfi members are the wrong people to fabricate a headphone for. I've seen threads with only a picture asking to a ID some 1970s limited production can. And somebody has. It only gets better....

If this keeps going we'll have a head-fi urban legend on our hands!

Here's my email in response to his automated-looking reply. Let's see what he answers:

Comedy goldmine!

 

[Towert7]

Somebody should fake offer him say, 500$+ If and Only If it can be a local pickup. ^_^
Love to see where that goes to. Will he be so stubben that he thinks he lost out on 500$ worth?

 

[rsaavedra]

Ok here's his reply. Bolds are mine for highlighting purposes. Gee I really feel sad about this whole thing.

[juzmister]

omg! i have a great idea...We pull the nigerian scam on him! "1500 dollars has been transferred into your account", he seems like the type to fall for it.

 

[will75]

Wow. Now all of the sudden it's not $1000 in upgrades, it's $5000. But don't worry, he called the guy and he will transfer the guarantee to the lucky buyer.

Ask him if the upgraded headband is made of unicorn hide.

Say what?

 

[trum01]

Are we sure this isn't some 13 year old kid fooling around? I cannot imagine an adult talking such unbelievable crap, and falling in every hole you guys set up for him!
