If you search for "Meridian a500" in google images, these photos come up about 4th. Last time I sold something and couldn't be bothered to take a photo, this is exactly what i did (though I made sure the photos I took were stock ones form a dealer not an individual).
So, I think he's guilty of nicking the photos but the auction itself doesn't look that fishy to me.

It might help buyers, if listing states photo's are representative of the model and not the condition.

There are always quite a few DSP speakers listed on Craigslist - London. I believe that these are all scams, usually the speakers are in Orkney or even Shetland.
I once asked a fellow Rotarian in Orkney to visit the address given. The residents confirmed the address but claimed to have no idea that they were selling the speakers.
The best way to test these listings is to offer to pay cash on collection. Obviously this doesn't suit scammers, unless they are into battery, and you never hear from them again.
1) MS200, G65, Revivers, DSP5000.2, DSP5000C.2, DSP3100, D1500, SME10/IV.
2) Mac Mini (Roon), Explorer 2, Sennheiser HD6XX.

Just googled and they have several bricks and mortar stores, evidently in business for 26 years. Although only 5 of a feedback score, they have an absolute shedload of inventory listed, including some other older DSPs and M33s.
Certainly worth a call if it's new old stock!
Cheers
George

I would say that it's not cheap. I'm not sure whether you get a single speaker for that price or a pair. Maybe only the one as they say they've got 5 of them.
Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.
Purdeys, Moke, Leica, 'Blad. Only the best.

I have purchased several televisions from this dealer through the years. Previously Home Theater Store, & Videoland. Same owner. They were at one time a Meridian dealer and purchase a considerable amount of assets from a bankrupt Phoenix, Az dealer. Had a fallout with Meridian That they have not been able to resolve for several years. Now trying to get rid of the old inventory. I would ask about warranty and get something in writing due to the dispute with Meridian. They are reputable and have serviced all that I have purchased.

Hi Peter, did you report it to eBay?
I have just done so, the more that do the quicker it will be pulled.

Carl
