The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Take a look at this. I remember a previous post on this forum where we talked about it...

Mmmm.... from Lithuania... the seller has one positive fb by another guy from Lithuania...
Something tells me this isn't correct...

Not to mention, the one feedback was placed 8 minutes after the $7 auction closed. Now that's fast delivery....

Well isn't anyone on here going to buy it?????....... . Am I wrong or did it not "sell" for the same "BIN" last time??.

It sold for approximately the same amount as last time. Looks real suspicious now. Maybe he's cloning them. My guess is when it comes time to pay he won't accept the paypal and is phishing for account info.

are you referring to the machine discussed in the other thread...

it's too bad there are no photos there (or even an ebay link for that matter) for comparison's sake. here's the link to the other ebay auction (for what appears to be the same machine, or at least it uses the same photos... even the text is the same)...

The best part is the single buyer is the same for (both??) sellers.... . I love the 6 or 7 feedbacks the buyer has...... . The scam is simple. They try to have you pay outside of PayPal by saying you will save on fees, etc..... If you are foolish enough to go for it.... .

Exactly! And when I post my first comment here the auction wasn't ended yet! I was tempted to buy it but I immediately recognized the machine: it was the same machine of the other thread. So, thanks to the forum, my money are safe...

Here's the photo from the latest auction for reference, in case it shows up for a third time.

And here's the original auction from October.
