What does this look like?

This really looks like a stock photo superimposed on a stereo rack background; or has the guy just emphasized the unit that is for sale?

Something funny is going on there... not sure what.

Looks like it's on the rack because of the window reflection on the back of the unit that's cropped by the above shelf of the rack.........

either way.. it's not cheap.. over $500

That's an easy trick to do with Photoshop or GiMP. Just easier to bring attention to the item you are trying to sell. I don't think it looks bogus but when you make the rest of the picture translucent like that, glare from a camera flash can seem like it's coming from somewhere else behind the subject of the photo. Also, you get the optical illusion that the full color subject of the photo is bigger than everything else in the photo.

But it appears to have cables running through its image. And doesn't seem to be at the same attitude as the Sony below it, unless it's lifted up or something.

Something looks fishy. He's got something else with doctored pics.

No sales or feedback plus an obvious photoshop job.

Definitely avoid this one!

[J_Kennedy]

I emailed for fun. We'll see how or if they respond. :D

Yes, avoid 0 feedback sellers. They are usually not legit. Only way to do something like that is if its local and can see the item personally. Notice the high bidder also has 0 feedback? Its either a shill bid or a dumbass bidder who is about to get scammed.

The cables are reflecting that are hanging down and that looks normal to me.........if he responds go for it, but i dont' think the pic looks like anything is wrong with it,...........

I like in the description: "May be returned for full value"???
Naaaawww, that's NOT stolen!!!

[janmike]

Pure scam on that one.

It's one of the only worthy pre amps Adcom made, but I wouldn't pay that much even if it didn't look suspicious.

[NeilGabriel]

The guy emailed me back and said he was trying to learn how ebay worked. The unit sold for $785. I have the Adcom 565, sorry Ben, and thought about getting this, but it really made me nervous. Why not use A-gon if selling high end stuff?
