[Phono-L] Does this look fishy???
Wow, certainly a deal that is too good to pass up!! Which is certainly what the seller is hoping.

Yes, perhaps we are too quick to judge. Could be some poor soul down on his luck, who inherited this machine, and needs cash in a hurry.

I agree that something is strange about the auction page. The Buy It now button covers part of the normal screen. You can't even see the day and time the auction ends. This one scares me a bit.
