It's no wonder he's not accepting paypal, and it's indeed very much relating to being scammed- This is the same scumbag who ripped me off 5 years ago thru Audiogon. The same set, I can confirm by the SN# on the SRE-750 box from a pic he sent me then:
I sent him a partial payment by wire transfer and he vanished, Even talked to him on the phone to convince myself to do it...
Incidentally, I'm heading to the UK soon. I think about filling a claim to local police. I notice the last listing is already closed, I really hope no one got duped again. But if someone can help me by contacting him for feign interest and try toget his bank wire transfer details so i can confirm, i'd very much appreciate it.
