The auction is for a website address so you can get a Alpine IDV-900 for 100.00

I think its a scam.

Yeah a scam...I actually fell for a much more clever one on a JL 12w7. Luckily Ebay caught onto it and did not cost me anything or hurt my Ebay status.

I just figured if I had access to purchase a d900 for 100.00 I would by 20 of them and sell them on ebay for 500.00 each and make a killing. Has to be a scam.

Yeah it happens ALOT. What I bid on was a list of places that sold JL Audio subs for low prices. Not an actual sub. What the guy did was copy and paste the entire desription of the the W7 for JL's web site. Then he put in a single sentence about 3/4 of the way through saying it was a list. Make sure you read very carefully.

The guy I was dealing with actually sent me a hate email saying he lost money because he had to pay Ebay for the auction and some other crap.

This is the webiste: http://www.alpinematrix.com

I bidded on IVA-D900 last november. The guy who sell didn't say anything about this site and after paying money through Paypal, he start saying his paypal account is locked; therefore he couldn't get my Alpine. He said that he was trying to get IVA-D900 on this site....WTF He didn't have any item on his hand but he started auction for it!
I got my money back one month after reporting to Paypal & E-bay, please be careful those kind of scams
