> I got a word for word identical letter.

Ditto. I liked the very cool right justification on the email; hard to reproduce here.

I received the same letter and like you said, no serial numbers.

But he was quick to offer the items off-Ebay... with no sellers protection.

But hey, that's what escrow.com is for. I'll be closing my first escrow.com transaction tomorrow (for a $650 30gig new-in-box MKIIa ) so I'll let you all know how it went.

Oi, cut that out - would you buy an Empeg from me!/

I don't know, is it a used empeg?

Im now cansultaning on the matter with my lawyer.

Obviously to see how much jail time is involved if his "business" gets shutdown...

I, too, was being ironic!

So I can buy a used empeg from that man.

.......An explorer came to a fork in a jungle road, sitting at the junction was......

Are we doing irony or double negatives?

But I'm holding on to my Empeg anyway!

Please tell me that you all are not even entertaining the thought of dealing with this guy... I don't care what he has to sell you are talking about INTERNATIONAL transactions here. Ebay can't touch him if he is outside the US. The government isn't going to help you. Please don't be blinded by the carrot he is dangling. You have a language barrier, a political barrier and ambiguous circumstances, not to mention an insistance on payment that can''t easily be recovered. Come on... If anyone sends him money, I have some beachfront property about 50 miles east of Myrtle Beach for sale. Really cheap... But I need cash because my reality had a failure?!?

How much?

1000000000000000000 acres for the low price of one empeg...haha
