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.

Seems like all those power amps come with that new optional
remote. At 45 lbs, that Mark Levinson 336 must have a new
switching power supply or something. This seller from Spain
is more fishy than the creek beds up in BC during spawning
season! I hope that all Audiogoners approach these deals with loads of caution. I remember talking to another Audiogoner who paid by Paypal via his credit card for a Wadia CD player, from (drum rolllll) SPAIN! Guess what?
He says the Wadia was a no show, so he yanked payment on the
credit card. He was lucky.

I just got on after a brief absence, and noticed that the
super deal on the ML 336 is gone, and the seller is no longer registered on Audiogon. Qu'est ca ce? Did the sheriff
run him out of town, or was it the pressure of public opinion? Just trying to catch up on the current news.
