It warmed the crusty cockles of my heart this morning on TV to see that a local(Tustin,Michigan)woman busted for an Ebay scam.The fat greasy haired skank was in front of the judge in a nice bright orange jump suit and handcuffs.She had scamed 150,000.00 out of people on Ebay by offering 42",demo,plasma TVs for 2000.00.She actually purchased a couple TVs for 4000.00 each and resold them for 2000.00 to build up her rating.And then it was off to the races,taking peoples money and shipping them nada.And now it's off to the joint.Be carefull out there people.
If a deal seems to good to be true,it probably is.

I'm sure a number of the inmates have been successful on this -- how about posting success stories so we can benefit from the shared knowledge?Say what you want about ebay and online dealers, but the reality is that I've been looking at the 50" Pioneer Elite and the differential in price between online and local brick-and-mortar stores is nearly $5000! It is really tough to pass on the discounted pricing.
. unless you don't care about loosing your $$.
As of new models released in December 2003 and on, if you don't buy from an authorized dealer, Pioneer will consider your warranty null and void. Go to www.pioneerelectronics.com and you will get a "pop-up" that explains this policy. Same with Fujitsu.So what will it be if you purchase one of these models -- Pioneer's warranty from an authorized dealer or no warranty from a non-authorized dealer?
Make sure that $5000 difference in price is for the same make and model. Some of the numbers are close, but not the same. With a price difference that great, I suspect the models that you are comparing may not be the same. It's possible, though extreme, so just check to be sure.
