That's just a standard payment method one can choose when adding a listing.

I see "Full payment is required within 7 days of listing closing" in several placed on the ad.

Unless you live in NC or nearby, most will likely not be able to pick it up in NC within 7 calendar days, which means you're sending payment or at least a healthy deposit.

And the conflicting statements in the listing are another hallmark of a scam:

1689258587274

1689258619993


1689258527092

Call me a realist, a cynic, a pragmatist, a tin foil hat wearer, or whatever you choose. Who knows, perhaps it is legit, but I see no way anyone in their right mind would sell a ~1 year old machine with an MSRP of $22,299 PLUS transportation/destination (usually $1K-ish) PLUS setup/assembly ($300-400-ish) PLUS (if applicable) sales tax (another $1000 to $1500-ish) on an eBay auction with no reserve (or a reserve lower than the price it sold for) for only $14,100. You'd have to be an IDIOT to do that.

Maybe someone DID get an astonishingly great deal on a 1-year-old Pioneer. As long as they post pics as soon as they show up here, that's all that matters, right? 🤣

Yep, that's what matters!!

You're probably right...I was just thinking maybe the seller failed to set a reserve price. But I see he now has another SxS listed so as I said, you're probably right.

I could most certainly be wrong. :oops:

Not sure how easy it would be to fake this, unless someone hijacked an account that hadn't been used in years and the real owner doesn't know.

Butt ... ALL his/her feedback is over 6 months old, all seems to be referencing small sales of things like tee shirts and such, but NOW he has not one but two very expensive SXS listed with no reserve, one "selling" for nearly half the cost of buying a new one?
