kinda interesting looking...
two auctions ending within a month of each other,
same items...
is one maybe bogus and the other legit?
hopefully we can find out somehow...

same units apparently.... even the same auction text....
Pretty weird - I noticed the later auction is from a new, zero-feedback seller. And like you said, the text is copied, "but I’m only an electric engineer and no a cabinet maker", though the pics are different. I'm calling
I'll be right next to Loveland, CO over Christmas. If they were available then, I'd be asking the seller for a look-see, just out of curiosity...

The first auction was promoted well and overseas.
I think the second one is maybe a matter of someone sitting on something and finding the first auction. Although it wasn't promoted well by copying verbiage, the pics are different and if there's real value there, ureimaniac got a steal.
I've made contact with the seller...
seems he is on vacation at the moment,
will return in a few weeks...
arranging for a local pick up upon his return.
looks like my risky bid may have paid off.....
i'll keep you all posted on my progress....
take a backup ... and be cautious, m'friend.Originally Posted by louped garouv
