New stuff from spain selling at less then used

Hi, im curious about what everyone thinks about the recent items put up on audiogon. They are from spain and are mostly new but sell for about 2k less than their used prices. I was going to buy an amp from him but it does seem very fishy especially as today another person from spain came on selling new equipment well below new prices. I think this guy/guys is kinda like that the guy from england about a year back who stole tons of money from audiogoners. I know that the american companies (Pass and ML) sell their stuff for almost double their us costs overseas. So it doesnt seem logical that these prices are for real. I also offered to pick up the amp in spain..... through a friend to see what he would say (he might not even have the amp) but he hasnt responded yet. Let me know what your oppinions are... i dont think im gonna chance this one.

I sent an e-mail asking questions about the pass x-350 selling for 3200, no response.

I received an e-mail from a joe kent ([email protected]) offering to sell me a never used in opened box scd-1 for $1985.00. He noticed that I was bidding on one on e-bay. The hitch was that I could only pay utilizing paypal. Since I could not verify who he was I offered to buy the unit COD and pick up all COD charges. He stated this was not acceptable, only paypal. I then suggested that we use an escrow account and again I offered to pick up all escrow charges. Again he refused, stating he would only accept paypal. Smelling a fish I ask for a phone number wher he could be reached. He said his phone was out because of a bad storm in texas; I guess he lives in texas. Since I could not verify who he was and had no way to protect my interest I refused his offer. the moral BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Chuck
