Well I just noticed what appears to be another paypal scam or it just could be the deal of a life time. A pair of McIntosh - MC2301 Tube Monobloks Amplifiers for only $4900 when the used market for them is around $15000. Audiogon needs to put a cap on the price of the listing from a first time seller.

    Go for it, PFB! Smokin' hot deal and it says, right in the listing, "The serial numbers are: DA7281, 2, so relax everybody, this is a legit deal!"

    So, what could possibly go wrong?!? :p

    Damn PFB... I guess I will need to wait on someone else to step up and buy my amps. o:)


    Smart move PFB... a search of Audiogon reveals there are no such amps listed. Someone hijacked the template.

    just ask for a picture of the serial numbers next to todays newspaper.
    that will tell you if they at least have them.

    This... this newspaper... of which you speak. Such an odd term. Unfamiliar. Say more.
