Quoted from Atari_Daze:

Same thing happened to me, guy practically down the street trying to sell a Paragon on ebay for $3K, sent him details from PS on average price and offered him a grand site unseen, based on the description of "needs fuses", told him I would even check it out for him at no charge.
Got a "Thanks" in response. That was about 3 months ago.
I did not bother contacting him since, and machine is STILL for sale.
Anyone interested, here is the link.
