    One is already down.

    The other - he just recieved a $6,000 (or so) tv from and authorised dealer and before even unboxing it, he decided he would just try to sell it on craigslist for $750. A little confused on the whole buy low sell high theory of economics dont'cha think??

    It is either stolen or a scam. Either way - not where I would choose to invest my money.

    I tend to like those "relocate" ads. Means the set is never local.
    It does pay to check for the same ad in other metro areas.
