eBay "Info" auctions?

[BryBrySmash 10+ year member]

Whenever I look on eBay for audio stuff, i always see these auctions for "information" or a "web link" on where to get certain products for what appears to be cheap (ie. JL 1000/1 for $80, JL 12W7 for $60). I just wanted to know what these auctions actually represent. are they just a scam or is there some validity to them? Just wondering.

they're not really a scam, they give you a link to a website that does sell the stuff for that price but you have to get a dealers license and etc. or similiar to that

no i have already posted what they were, use search

they are selling links to matrix scam sites, do not throw your money away, report them to ebay. they are in violation of ebay terms of selling. look for the ebay rules page.

Not all of the listings on ebay like that are scams. I myself sell that list on ebay, and i might add that it is a great way to find really low prices on anything auto. Now i havnt bought anything off of my list yet, and with some of them you do need a dealer license, but not with all. The list that I sell has over 1000 sorces, and I would say that about 85% of them dont need the license. And I know that your probably thinking that they are used, or a referb, but there not, pretty much every thing is brand new, with a warrenty. I you have anymore questions about it, just email me or im me and ill answer any questions to the best I can
