Care is required, payment only after seeing and hearing them in person, suspect you may never hear from the seller.

English doesn't appear to be the first language here...

The old maxim "If it looks too good to be true..." Seems appropriate.

It's amazing how much high end kit resides in Stornoway, and other far flung places where no one would ever be likely to get to to view the items. Even supposing they exist and are in their boxes shipping would be punitive.

I wouldn't touch these with a barge pole, even if I could find one long enough.

Frankly I don't care whether it's a scam or not. Who's going to pay �3,440 for two pairs of 5ks and a centre? Way overpriced.

If I remember that one was originally posted with no photos at all!

Well they eventually replied:

For sale is the vertical DSP5000C (in the photo). There are 2x DSP500 Smiley speakers (also in the photo) and 2 x DSP500 oblong speakers. This set will not be split or sold as individual pieces.
and still for an utterly ridiculous price given their individual market values.

Really?

I've contacted him and it seems he's happy for cash on collection and happy to demo. He gave a good reply re history of the speakers (apparently he brought them second hand no boxes)

He has 130 positive feedback including some high end hifi kit

But if you do collect I'd take someone with you! but if I had the cash I would be tempted





What!

I smell something fishy. If I'm wrong I apologise.

I contacted this one for a pair of DSP7000s in Madrid which I'm pretty sure is also the same as this pair.

The vendor then tells me they're in Poland not Madrid, they are 230v with these serial numbers already used earlier in this thread for a paid of DSP5200s! He sent me 5 pictures of a pair of DSP5200s.

SN#D5200200659B and SN#D5200200659A

Email address of vendor blapiottr@gmail.com, comes up blank on a Google search.

I asked for more photos and a Skype demonstration and no response since.

I'm the first owner.
The speakers will come in original packaging + all the documents + accessories.
Excellent condition, mint! Tested prior to the sale, 100% operational.
We will do the transaction through EMS Express , this company has a escrow service.
The shipping company will take care about the shipping and payment.

I find this to be the best way for both parts to conclude this transaction, it is safe and time saving, specially for our side since we have very little time to deal with the particulars of transporting the item ourselves.

Thanks
Piotr

We will do the transaction through EMS express , this company has a escrow service. (www.ems-express.net) )They will take care about shipping and payment.

To start the transaction I need your shipping details:

Name
Address
City
Zip code
Country
Phone number

Once I have these info, I will go to send the speakers.

These are the steps that we will have to follow in order to complete the transaction trough EMS EXPRESS:

1. I will start a new transportation order with the company, also insure the transaction, and this insurance will cover not only the product but it offers buyer's protection as well. Once the transaction is started, you will be contacted by the company and supplied with all information regarding the transaction, payment details and delivery dates.

2. For delivery to be made the company requires the deposit of EUR 3.400,00 made by the buyer, the deposit is fully refundable and will be made out to the company. The payment method is bank transfer.

3. After this the item will be delivered to your location and you will be given a tracking number which will allow you to keep track online of the item, for the entire delivery time.

4. Once you receive the unit, you will have a 2 day trial period in which the item will remain in your possession and you can test it.

5. Once the trial period is over you will have to decide if you want to keep the item, and sign the paperwork; after that the company will transfer the entire amount to my account. In case you do not want to keep the item, then your initial deposit will be fully refunded and the item will be delivered back to me at my own expenses. However the item is in an excellent condition and I am certain that the later will not happen.

I'm waiting your email with your info to move one with the transaction.

Thanks
Piotr

Yes please (not the speakers for me!)

I'd be curious how this escrow scam works though. From first glance it looks like a legit service.

I have checked out the Escrow site and it has only been up a few weeks with Blacky Piotr as the owner of the site who also happens to be the chap selling the speakers.

Stay well clear!
