I was just looking through ebay and came across 5 pairs of Audio Technica ATH-ESW10's available at a buy it now price of 120GBP a pair or make an offer.

The seller has zero feedback and these headphones retail for around 400GBP here in the UK, do I smell a rat or what.

Yes, probably fake.

I suppose collection in person isn't an option with these...

 

[Equus]

Yeah...ya know what they say about things that seem to good to be true.

 

[anadin]

Im seriously tempted to take a chance at that price, if I pay through paypal and get connned then I should be covered, the headphones are situated in scotland.

 

[Lumient]

The seller also has other nicely priced headphones for sale. One can't blame him/her for trying to make honest living for sure.

 

[anadin]

Anyone think I should take a chance? if I use paypal would I be good for a refund if there fake?

 

[CherryBomb]

No way in the world I would role the dice on that deal. Can't be certain, but if that isn't a common scam artist (i.e., thief), then I'd be surprised. Please don't support counterfeiters.

That would be a great help are you situated close to the seller.

 

[mark2410]

well they are listed as being in edinburgh so they cant be all that far away

 

[grokit]

Cr@p I thought it was just the ESW9s they were "knocking off".

No returns accepted, good luck with that

Gotta be fake. Whens it too good be true, it usually is.

These are £450 phones.

well ive messaged them asking if i can go have a listen, they replyed that "I live in Edinburgh and I do not offer person delivery." so ive replied stating so am i and can i have a listen to them first to make sure they are genuine.

if they are real im sure they wont mind

 

[mark2410]

well ive got a reply

"Hi again!

it's not problem,I am not at moment but I will let you when I am back in town.

Regards

- ameree-uk"

i assume that he means hes not actually in edinburgh just now then. sounds rather suspect to me. any one wanna report to ebay?
