ShriDurga Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I've sometimes been curious about sellers posting items at prices well beyond reasonable, like the guy now listing an RH1 at ebay for $2500. I sent him an email and asked if he would accept $2400. He replied that he couldn't ship to my country! I would think for that price arrangements could be made. Or maybe he was simply giving as good as he got. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Interesting In Europe, 25 thousand dollars would be written 25.000,00 So 2500.00 might be some sort of typo. More likely this is one of the guys who puts a silly price (or shipping) hoping no one will notice. 250,00 sounds about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azureal Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I often see these types of listings too and wonder what is going on with them. I can't imagine anyone actually paying such an inflated price for any of these units and it seems that they don't, the listings are often renewed after they expire without a sale. It is interesting that ShriDurga sent an email offering $2400 but was turned down? Something is fishy about that, I wonder if it is some sort of money laundering scheme, or a way of moving money across international borders for the support of nefarious activities!

sescoscuba Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 In Europe, the rules against money laundering, depart from the sum of 2500 euro, with a report to the appropriate authorities. Azureal, for me you re right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShriDurga Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Really. What are they going for these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azureal Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Market driven auctions on the US site end up selling used RH1/M200 units for between $250 and $500 USD. This is just from casual observation over the past year or so. People who list for a high fixed price rarely seem to sell their units. High reserve or starting prices seem to effect sales negatively as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
