HI First I want to tell you that my mixers are brand new, unopened box all
accessories included and also an international warranty. The invoice will
come at the same time with the package. In this case shipping is free. My
price is the best you could get: 900$/unit, including the shipping and
insurance taxes. I have 5 units avalaible. As delivery service we use UPS 2 days air
service or overnight (with insurance and 15 days return policy), because
it's the faster also free. And if you will have a quick payment, we must
also have a quick delivery. So that's why we use as a payment method Western
Union money transfer, the fastest and also very secure way of sending money.
So, if you agree with my terms I'm sure that we can close the deal as soon
as possible. Waiting your quick answer right now, THANK YOU

well, the item you have listed clearly isnt new ... theres dust and
scratches all over it ... and even though shipping is free, its easier for
me to just come pick this up in palatine ... at which point ill have a money
order for the amount of the auction ... please let me know if this is
do-able ...
thanks

Dear sir,
The shipping will be made trough UPS express delivery and because I will pay
for the shippment you will pay the fees for the money transfer. The payment
which I accept is Western Union.

well, i maitain residence in several countries in the european union ... the
reason i am so inquisitive about my picking up the boards is that i wish to
purchase two of these from you (you did say you had 5, no ?) as gifts for
nephews of mine as they are aspiring in the music world, albeit, not to my
tastes ... so perhaps a better question would be, where are you located, so
that i may assess the cost for picking up said items, as time is somewhat an
issue ... please find attached a photo of my visage, it is several years
old, but it is the most recent i have on this computer in this office in
vienna ... i like for people to know who they are dealing with, i think it
makes them more at ease to conduct business
thankyou
anthony

Bwahaha! I love you a little more every day, sir! One of those items has been taken down, and he has posted your question at the bottom of the new auction. Can't wait to see how he responds to the last e-mail.
I got sucked into this same sellers bull shit. I almost threw down $500 for a new apple display, which sells for $1499 new. The price was way to good to be true. If you look up his buyers comments those are also way too good to be true.I want to thank you for posting this incident. If anyone gets wrapped up in "Piko736@aol.com" scam you are fucked. Make sure you ask the appropriate questions and google the sellers name if you are the least bit sceptical. I am going to put his identity a couple more times in this comment blog so if anyone else googles him they will find these 2 incidents. Thanks again,

Re: only 900???
please look at my feedback profile ..i 100 % positive feedback and i don't want to dissapoint you...I I am not a scam artist, and the last thing I want to do is rob you.
I am a very honest man honest in every aspect of my life and like to believe that we have a mutual trust.look i live by the rules ...money to me is nothing in life it the trust that it count ,
If you try to scam somebody in life, later on life will scam you back.
I promise, you won't be dissapointed. I am a man of my word.You can count on me.About our deal I assume we are 2 mature persons who want to make a fair deal.
I understand you are a little concerned from this point of view but this is not the case.I am a very good ebayer with a very good rating and my interest is to have very good deals on ebay so
i can have in the future good deals.If i will make with you a good deal,you will recommend me ,maybe ,to your friends or to other persons.For me it is very important to have permanent deals on ebay,
any negatice deal will not make good to me.That explain the low price.More,i will provide 15 days money back warranty,i mean ,if in 15 days you will change your mind you will resend the item to me on my expenses.I think this is more than fair.
But i need to provide me the payment confirmation, prior to shipping in order to make the shippment.I hope you can understad me and also,i hope we can finalize this deal in the best manner.
You will have my personal quarentee you will receive the item immediately without questions... i promise.
i don't sell my reputation even for 1 milion $.think about it.
