There's this guy on ebay that's been emailing me after his auction closed and he's been saying how he's in London and needs the money right now and is gonna sell me his Yamaha RX-V2700 receiver for $150 and the auction said it's NIB. Does this sound like a scam to y'all?

    scam yes, big time.. the dude should just pawn it if it has anything at all even to sell.. does it have something in the email about him sending some kind of wire delivery service person to come by and pick up the money or check from you? or you to wire it to this or that account. and he promises he'll send you his item? SCAM. Delete it ASAP

    Smart move. When the deal sounds TOO good to be true, it usually is.
