I don't know about that. I've been looking the past couple of weeks
for a nice amp to drive my monitors and have seen about 5-6 fraudulent
looking deals. Now, in all fairness, they looked really fishy and I
would have never gone through with them, but sometimes you see an item
that looks legit but the seller has no feedback... certainly makes me
think twice. Though to be honest, I have saved quite a lot of money
on ebay and have never been burned.

Yes, a bit more than I'm willing to spend. I'd love to find an MKH 80
for a good price. I'll keep on looking...
