Looks like a scam. Firstly, it's in China. Not a good start. Secondly,
it doesn't specify payment types accepted, which means you'll win and
then they'll ask to use Western Union or some such rubbish. Thirdly,
the seller has only 14 feedback ratings, one of those is negative and
most of the rest seem to be for $0.01 items. Classic scammer profile
(and not a very smart one).

Avoid.

Oh yes its a scam for sure but it seemed such an unlikely thing to
feature in a scam - ipods and hifi wouldn't raise an eyebrow...but
Squeezebox bundles...maybe its a sign Slimdevices have hit the big
time!

 I can only assume its incredibly dodgy - there are lots of them on
 ebay.co.uk but if it were serious
I don't want to rain on anybody's parade but I've reported all their
listings to eBay as being suspicious for the reasons previously posted.

Yeah, and the feedback ratings are all from Sellers, so this is the first
sale from that ID. Seems like the account was originally created in france...

Quite a nice example of an eBay scam. He had about 16 Squeezebox3's and
Ready Nas for sale with all auctions ending at very similar times.
Despite the bad press eBay receive in the Uk I am heartened to see that
they have removed the dodgy listing already.
