Tonmicha Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Found this on german ebay now for the second time, same set and same odd price. It says it was used only for one feature film and is like new and located in italy. No pickup possible just delivery! That, and the odd price, sounds a bit strange to me. Is there anybody missing a set like this? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.de%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192493523892 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobilemike Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 It s a surprisingly low price. The seller seems to have a decent amount of feedback though, going all the way back to 2001. Not saying thats proof of innocence, but I would expect somebody fencing stolen gear to have much less of an eBay history. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickFriedrich Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 No pick up possible is a big bright red flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpro Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 As your LEO how much stolen stuff ends up on Ebay, it's way easier than using a pawn shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one more thing that is kind of strange. But i dont want to judge anyone, it just took my attention and i want to share it in case of some members recognized their stuff.

Well, the seller does have 85 ratings. Positive or not I don’t know. Just didn’t have any in the past 12 months, which is why you can’t read them. They might have more than 85 completed sales though, the 85 only counts the number of feedbacks. But the customers may even have been happy. The seller could be a brilliant Ebayer, but a really bad gear buyer. The seller is also listed as based in the US, but the gear ships from Italy. Definitely fishy. Anyway, they‘ve pulled the auction already. So if anyone was out for a bargain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungo Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Strange. This auction has ended for 1.250 € which is quite low for this combo. Just one of the Schoeps is worth more than that, even used. But no doubt this is an original Sound Devices cardboard box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantin Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 And it wasn’t an auction, it was a „buy now“ thing. And a box is easy to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonmicha Posted March 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Yesterday it was deleted or someone buyed it and now it is on ebay again without any changes. This is now the third time, very strange. https://www.ebay.at/itm/192495328943 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbuerjes Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Oh, there it is again. The "no-pick-up" was in northern Italy before, wasn't it. I hope that anybody on eBay who is tempted to buy thinks twice! Edit: I wrote eBay to check on the account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalton Patterson Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Did I already miss out on the 633 and the Schoeps MS rig for only $1100? Someone must have swooped in and got a steal! ( no pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tresch Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Does anyone have a picture of the MS combo? I just spotted my stolen recorder after your eBay warning! My CCM41 CCM8 MS rig was in a cinela Zephyx. I also had 2 SMB BLOCK 22 and a dual receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
