Not bloody likely in East St Louis and there's another ad almost 100% identical but in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Betting both are scams.

Here's an Audiogon from last month where the language and photos likely originated...

Yeah, deals too good to be true, free shipping for 200lb speakers, eBay seller with -0- feedback.
Both of those eBay listings say 'new', 'back left speaker', with Bluetooth connectivity. I don't know who is dumber - the 'seller', or the people bidding."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

I've flagged/reported a few of those eBay listings as fraudulent but they keep re-creating them so clearly they don't care.

I did as well. It is pretty easy to see 3 have been listed with the same pictures and word for word descriptions. The Sterling Mi auction sold for 3300+, I hope he used PP and a credit card. Someone is going to be very disappointed soon. -

The TMR ad went up on 15 April and was "sold" on 2 August.
The Audiogon ad went up on 6 August for less than half of what TMR was asking. If that's the same guy who bought the speakers from TMR, that's a pretty hefty bill for a couple of days use.
All the photos and the text in the Audiogon and the eBay ads are identical.

Bose NC700 on sale at Dell for $229 (orig $379; currently $279 AMZ)
(double post for visibility in case anyone's looking. put one in Headphones and this one here. This is the best deal I've seen on these. Wanted to make sure you guys saw in case anyone's been interested.)
SlickDeals - Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700; $229
https://slickdeals.net/f/16980610-bose-700-noise-canceling-headphones-black-dell-usa-229
https://www.bose.com/p/headphones/bose-noise-cancelling-headphones-700/NC700-HEADPHONEARN-BLK-WW.html
These are some of my favorite headphones, though will say the noise canceling mic wasn't perfect last I tried it with a mobile device. I've not done any firmware updates, though. Maybe it's better now. It'd probably be fine for office stuff, but it's not good on the receiving end if, say, you're washing dishes. I think they didn't handle wind all that great, either.
Very comfortable. Touch controls. About 16hr battery life according. These and the Bose QC-35ii are my favorite BT headphones, and bested the Sony WH1000-XM4 in sound quality for music and overall comfort.
NC700 has slightly better noise cancelling than the QC-35ii. Sound signature is about the same. Initially reviews on the QC-45 were not as favorable as for the 35ii's sound.
Could be a new model coming out soon.I disabled signatures. -

Heck no! Personally I think $500 is too much, someone else thought otherwise -

WOW!! $11,500 and change. Crazy!!

Even non-reconditioned Carver amps (M1.5t, M-500t, M4.0t and the like) are going for crazy money. I just saw one go for close to $800! The market for vintage gear is strong.....which is weird because new or slightly used stuff sits on the chopping block for a while, even with severe discounts.

Well then I should sell my completely recapped, updated with all tech bulletins TFM 45. Right now it is doing duty in a 3.1 TV system.

How about "free" records??!! The vinyl is free but the shipping is about $12 each...still not a bad deal for new records and the selection is actually half decent:
