Here's another one at $3100

http://s1.amazon.com …73407/002-5573332-4116049 (external link)

All I can say is, Amazon guarantees the sale, so if you get stiffed, or get a Mk I instead of a II, Amazon has to pay up.

Who's gonna give it a try? ;)

Hmmm, looks like the scammers have moved house. Dreaming or awake, if it looks too good to be true it is.

Seller requires Check or Money Order. Amazon Guarantee states:

"Auctions and zShops purchases that are not settled with Amazon Payments--for instance, those paid by check or money order--are eligible for up to $250 in A-to-z Guarantee coverage, provided buyers are residents of the U.S., the U.K., or Germany"

Ah. I didn't get that far down because I was sure it was a scam anyway. It also sort of appears that both sellers are the same operation.

Similarties between the two sellers should sound very loud alarm bells as well as the payment requirement. Maybe e-bay is getting too crowded with MK-II scammers?

Ah well, I suppose there will always be those that part with their money, the same people who believe that the moon is made of green cheese and Elvis is playing at Carnegie Hall this weekend.

I have given Amazon a heads-up.

Aww - come on! I think you're being a bit hard on the seller! After all...

We have a 30 days money back warranty policy

Huh? That sure puts me at ease...

:roll:

I'm going to order one. Maybe I'll have it in time for the Elvis concert.

Oh. Wait. I already have one.


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!
