New and only 7K $AUS.  No paypal.  Cash in their account only.

That is 20% of the new price is Australia.

I smell a RAT!!  A big stinking one!!  Can't be legit.....  Unless they are unaware of their value (unlikely).

They have excellent feedback.  Could be the bargain of the week (unlikely).

Rat-a-tat-tat!!

I was thinking of doing the same Nigel! I 'd love to know the serial numbers and then track where they've been 'acquired' from.  A plague of rats with this one.

Obviously a scam.  'Just reported it.

Just a question:

Could it happen that a seller's account is cracked and the cracker is showing off with the cracked account's positive feedback?

I noticed a similar listing on the US ebay site.  What caught my eye (aside from the price) was that the seller couldn't accept paypal (which I'm guessing would leave the buyer without any recourse through ebay) and that only a bank transfer was acceptable.

I looked through their feedback and noticed that the seller did not appear to be in the business of selling audio and/or video equipment (what a surprise!).
