    Re: Is it real?

    Definitely hacked. I've seen scammers list hundreds of auction, and watched as the number would continuous go up, and then go down as ebay started pulling them. They often use pictures and descriptions from past Altec auctions. Some I've recognized as scams simply becasue I recognized the pictures :-)

    yep hacked, always the same or similar spiel, desirable items with low starting price and too good to be true BIN price - the biggest giveaway is the "contact" or payment details are always an image (rather than text) - so it doesn't give picked up in a search or filter by eBay

    steer clear

    NLA. Gone for no stated reason.
    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.
