Hi Mark,
Yeah, I sort of figured oout what was going on after a bit of head scratching.
I believe all members of this forum know what's going on, so I think your auction is safe :-D
Good luck!
Cheers,
Peter

Peter, that other auction(#4100923740) is a SCAM!!! Somebody is
trying to confuse the potential bidders.

I'm the original seller (MJW87) all pictues on the auction (even on
the scam auction) have red imprints (mjw87 Ebay auction 2004) and
also the page points to my website (www.wavebeam.com/MFX2) which has
more pictures and demo song. I already posted a warning on that site
about this SCAM auction and reported it to Ebay Safe Harbor.

So the real and legitimate auction is auction #3711575832 so you can
bid on it if you're interested.

Thanks.
Mark

There's more than one giveaaway that this auction is a scam...
The description says Reputable ebay seller since 1998 with 175 positive only feedback. The actual seller in auction 4100923740 has ZERO feedback and has been a memember since yesterday. Not a nice smell at all
Not only that, the Auction is in Hong Kong Dollars, the seller is listed as being in France, the equipment is supposedly in Londo, UK (sic), when the description says it's in NYC!
If that doesn't smell bad then you have no sense of smell!! ;-)
All this is without looking at the picture tags, the warning in the linked site, and the fact that the auction is an absolute duplicate..
All are the exact same strategy that the Plasma TV scam artists use..
