Master "deals" (massdrop, ebay, Amazon, etc.) Thread on Audio Product Sales

[Veri]

Experts - This is not a deal, but the opposite of it. However, this seems like a thread where I can ask this question - Why would someone bid USD 2000 on a used pair of Senn HD 58X Jubilee headphones? Am I missing something?

What the f?

What the f?

I guess I ought to put one up for sale with a $1500 starting bid. In case that guy loses that one

 

[raistlin65]

So, I wasn't seeing things. But what's the deal here, I was thinking. It beats me.

Maybe accidentally put an extra zero in and didn't know how to withdraw the bid?

Or someone's girlfriend is pissed off and logged in with their Ebay account and made the bid. lol

 

[Veri]

I think it's more sketchy than that. Ebayer with barely any rep, suspicious bids. Since bids can be retracted this is probably some kind of scam luring people into thinking it's worth much more than it really is? I have no other explanation

Something is screwy. There are brand new pairs available for $193.95!

raistlin65 - 3 to 4 people are increasing the bids. Possibly, a group of girlfriends .

Martin - On Drop it is $170. Even $193 is overpriced (probably for quicker delivery since Drop more time). It seems suspicious.

You have a ton of stolen credit cards. You buy stuff from yourself with them for inflated prices. Several fake accounts can make bidding look legitimate.

Or you have cash and want it in the bank. You buy gift cards and then buy stuff from yourself.

Notice that the two bidders going back and forth each have ZERO feedback, ie, neither has bought nor sold anything on eBay.

There could be all sorts of things going on, but I can almost guarantee that the 'winning' bidder won't actually pay for the headphones.

I wish I knew how to easily make a fake, untraceable ebay account. Then we could all create one and run the bidding up to $100K

Would love for Amir to measure the older brother to the HS5.

I turned my HS5 in and upgraded to HS8. I just have to have time to test it.

The lab changed its mind and decided to clone more sheep instead.....

They are excellent for drying - they can look like this for years
