Beware TI on ebay - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

Item number 3771900729. Ive emailed the seller inquiring as to how he is selling an unreleased product, but of course no reply. It's up to 530.00. Should this be reported to the ebay cops. This has to be a scam, I know i would be filled with murderous rage and despair if someone took me for that kind of cash. The strange thing is the seller has good feedback but there hasn't been any action on that account for 1.5 years or so. Just a heads up.

Report it.

I already did but there are only 2 days left and I don't know how fast ebay acts on these things.

They've replied within a day in my experiences.

I've also reported them to eBay, and have emailed all the bidders too.

So how much did you bid up to before it clicked DS? Hehehe, just joking mate.

Bidding on an unreleased item would be more than naive though in my opinion.

I'm not sure what to think. Should I despise the seller or laugh at the bidders. Maybe I'll just laugh at the gullible bidders.

This is like watching people bidding an air guitar (in the product picture there were just an open guitar case). I don't know why the biddings went over $100. Probably the bidders didn't realise that it was an air Les Paul and the case wasn't included.

Looks like ebay cancelled that auction. The price was up to like a grand or something. Some of the bidders account activity looked suspect as well. Maybe karma, if it exists will bring me a new synth. ha...

The one I talked about in an earlier thread ("Is this legit?") was cancelled also. You know, ebay will always be full of scams, thats the nature of the business....
