Seems fishy that all three head units came out of an "exotic car" in a seattle show. Could be a solid deal, and if i didn't just get a new HU, i might look into it all.

None hte less, i sent him an email inquiring a bunch...we'll see how he replies.

How did you manage to get three units all out of an exotic car at the same seattle Auto Show???

Would you ship to Canada?
Do you have more pictures of the head units?
Do they come with box’s and instructions?

Can you offer serial number’s on the three units? (three separate ebay auctions)

Much appreciated.

HI
First I want to tell you that my Alpine 7990 are brand new, unopened box
all accessories included and also an international warranty .
My price is the best you could get: 500USD(not euro), including the
shipping and insurance taxes. We will pay them because the package
will be delivered from Europe.I have many units available.
As delivery service we use UPS2days air service or overnight (with insurance and
15 days return policy), because it's the faster. And if you will have
a quick payment, we must also have a quick delivery. So that's why we
use as a payment method Western Union money transfer, the fastest and
also very secure way of sending money.
So, if you agree with my terms I'm sure that we can close the deal as soon as possible.
Waiting your quick answer right now,
THANK YOU

IMPORTANT: in case i will not respond soon contact me at the office email: fastes.seller@gmail.com









This sounds fishier by the moment. Maybe it's just me....no it's definitely fishy.

 

not the unit I was talking about but thats a scam for shure !

 

doh....your link was broken....when i fixed the space it brought me to a search of alpine f1 units or similar. Plus i think there was 1 for $1200 at the bottom, looked well more legitimate.

 

Fishy

 

there is no such thing as an international warranty
the warranty is usally only good in the country its sold

 

I think the biggest thing you guys are overlooking is the fact that there is no international fraud prosecution. I've been told at least here in the US that it is a lost cause to try to prosecute someone overseas who frauded you when you sent money over the internet... I once found a 1996 toyota supra full TRD body and engine for $6,000USD... yeah right. Too many people being taken by this stuff
