I've been watching the price of my go-to subwoofer on Amazon lately and it seems to be stuck at $129. I broadened my google search a little and found this on Ebay:
ebay.com link: Polk Audio PSW10 BLACK 10 Monitor Powered Subwoofer NEW
I suspect this is a scam since it is obviously too good to be true. I've had good luck with getting refunded for purchases that never shipped in the past, so I took my best shot at it... will report results.
The guy keeps slowly bumping up the total quantity available, too, which is another red flag for this being a scam. I am OK with having the $39 at risk for a few days, though, on the off chance this is actually legit...
Quoted from CrazyLevi:It's not legit. You asked us. We told you. You know it's too good to be true. We confirmed this. You bought it anyway.
Now you are gonna spend the next week in this thread trying to convince yourself it's real like the guy who bought the $70 Batman 66.
May as well dispute that charge now.
Well in my defense I WAS pretty sure it was a scam when I took the chance on it. However, there is a lot more of a possibility that this is real than the BM66 guy's deal was!
I feel certain that I will be disputing the charge, but until then it is like I have a lottery ticket in hand that might be the winning Powerball ticket this week.
Quoted from zh2oson:I just got a used one through Amazon as suggested by the folks at Pinnovators. It was listed as "good" condition.
After close inspection, i found a small (small) scratch on the side. It also did not come in the factory box. $90 and free shipping. Works perfect.
Hope your lottery ticket pays off, though!
2 of my 3 former PSW10 purchases have been the "used" ones from Amazon, with the 3rd one being new and on sale for $79. The "used" ones that I got came in original packaging and were totally indistinguishable from a new product.
Unfortunately, they do not seem to have any reasonably priced used ones available right now...
Quoted from Bax1:Mine says that it will be delivered by July 16th. if this really does get shipped, it will only take a few days to get to me so I will be watching but most likely I will be filing a dispute.
I must be lucky, mine is scheduled to arrive on July 9. I guess I will know it is a scam before you do!
Quoted from Dent00:I see no feedback as a seller on Ebay and he only has 2 transactions, where I am assuming he got paid quickly.
Also says that he has sold 46 of them, so where is all that feedback?
Looks suspicious to me, based on the price.
I would avoid sellers with this type of history on Ebay.
The 46 qty was what he had for this particular listing... though it started out as 39 and he kept bumping it up one or two at a time to make it look like they were almost sold out.
I can't see any evidence that he's ever sold anything before this listing.
Quoted from Bax1:It’s marked shipped but no tracking info yet. We shall see
Mine is marked shipped now too. I messaged him and asked for tracking info
Quoted from Bax1:Any response for tracking info?
Total silence so far. To be expected, if this is a scam, so he can leg it out until after the projected arrival date before we file claims against him.
Quoted from Bax1:Well should I start a claim? Just got an email from ebay stating that they removed the product due to concerns to sellers account.
I was just going to ask you what your strategy was... obviously I got the same email. I like how they say "hey you might still get your item" which I construed to be their attempt to keep me from filing a claim just yet. My instinct is to go ahead and start one rather than waiting for my target delivery date.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:You guys keep saying it’s a “lotto ticket” but it just seems like a waste of time to me.
You’d have a better chance of “winning” by buying an actual lotto ticket and it would take less time.
Levi, you speak the truth!!! I knew it was a longshot going in... had the price been > $40 I would not have taken the risk.
Back to searching for them on Amazon and on Facebook Marketplace... some guy in the local marketplace has one for $40 but it's the cherry finish instead of black so it would not conform with my other 2.
Quoted from Bax1:did you call or use the app?
I used the app. They turned it around in < 2 hours...
