Link is for a US auction for 8000s with 7200 vertical center.
May be ok, I sent message three days ago asking if pickup was ok and have not heard from seller.

Seems that M products are well suited for scams; not saying that this is one but a motivated seller should respond to questions. JimK

Those are world attorney's photo's. I think he bought them in NY and moved to FL. And was trying to sell them from FL. These are are NM. So it's definitely a proceed with caution.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.

Right on, George. I'm not (yet) in upgrade mode, but sometimes I fire off a question if something seems not right about a eBay Meridian auction. Didn't recognize the source of the pics. I've had several dealings with World Att and his integrity is stellar, without question. Also, think one of our favorite Left Coast HHers has made a deal for his 8000s. JimK

Tried to find a way to alert eBay but couldn't find the right link...one asked if I had absolute evidence of a fraud, etc... so haven't reported it, would if I could. Jim K

How did you report it? I didn't see it on their links.

They're back with a Buy It Now of just $10,500, though it's a 7000C rather than a 7200C now frown
