Full Version: PXA-H900 on ebay
Looks like an awesome unit, it does everything!
seen it today, current price is something silly like $100AUD.
have asked him a few questions to see if it is legit.

I've been watching ebay for some time in search of either a h700 or h900. After recent events where 6 of the h900 model were on sale at once, then eventually removed for fraudulent activity, I doubt this one is valid as he's using the same garb & shots.
Avoid getting involved with sellers who have a 1 day listing offering a cheap "buy it now" offer by emailing them. You will be asked to operate / trade outside of Ebays jurisdiction and You will get burned.

I have a friend living in UK - maybe I'll ask him to check it out for me....
what I received from e-bay thursday
I've seen the other fraudulent sales, and the latest one is no different. The common request in all was to BIN at 550 pounds "very quickly".The person who is posting the sales has a scrolling / changing user ID and a list of bogus Positive Feedback comments. They look legit but unfortunately are not.
like I said, be weary of 1 day listings, but if you insist on checking it out you'd better be quick

Why is it so hard to get a bargain these days...
surely someone's selling one that doesn't really know it's value...

but Scorpion, arent YOU interested in getting a H900??
*looks at sig*

I guess that 3k thing might have something to do with it.
Well lets face facts, if i was prepared to pay 3k I wouldn't be trawling ebay
You'd think, being obsolete and all, that they'd come down a bit - like to 2k or something.
Maybe in a few years, when we all have 10 outputs from the H/U with 4-way fully active fronts and DVD-Audio+SACD built in.....

That would be typical 
Just as I thought, item pulled and sale cancelled by e-bay.
oh, well
it's ok, you can have mine for $4K if you want (more than i paid). 
why would you sell it shiny?
Because he can pick up another for less than 4K and make a profit?
everything's for sale isn't it, at the right price? 
oh and since THE shiny_car owned it, it GAINED value, and DIDNT depreciate...
come on guys, pick up a 4k bargain...
if ur lucky he mite throw in an old napkin with his signiture on it...

oh dear. 
And for a mere 4K extra he will tune your system for you (graphic EQ only, Parametric is another 2K on top of that)
lol I want someone to position my speakers - stupid Dyn mids don't play nicely.
How about $2k for the PXA and a changer shiny?
