LaserDisc Database :: View topic - Any X0, X9s for sale in europe at the moment ? + SCAM ALERT

Found an X0 in France
Mint condition but asking 1200euro...
It may be not too high of a price but it's from 1995!
that's a 12year old player that can breakdown any time soon...

I'm trying to reach te seller as we speak....
keep you posted...

johan, i have a x9 for sale in norway, i've been thinking of something like 10.000 Norwgian Kroner.

it appears that way. :shock:

you are right, the pictures came from ebay...
Since leboncoin.fr are updating their website it isn't possible to contact him either....
Just out of curiousity I would like to get an answer from the seller.
It's not like we have anything to loose by contacting him :wtf:

How about this one?

http://www.2ememain.be/tv-hi-fi-vid%C3% ... sc&start=0

Maybe the same one?
This player popped up around me more than once... price went up since last time.

It looks great and mint but I wouldn't dream of spending that much money on an "old" device anyway.
So if it's actually there, feel free to get it. I don't mind :shock:

I have my doubts about the add myself, but hey, no harm done by contacting the seller.
If it would turn out to be pick up only , I would trust it.

Have seen this ad before, am very worried to see the pictures are from ebay Canada from something which is sold, that would ring alarmbells with me.

Anyhow I never buy something which I have not seen with my own eyes ...

Players like X0 are made in the 1995/1996/1997 area, although build like a tank I would never buy them anymore, even had the opportunity to buy a 2001 X9 for a good price, but refused because of the above additionally the diff in price does not support the diff in picture quality (this is my personal view but everyone else might have his/her own opinion).

This guy in this add answered me in french telling me he now lived in germany, its wierd that both listed auctions in other countries than they actually are located in.

Same story, lived in Germany until now, returned home... :problem:

offered free delivery :wtf:

yeah right,
someone is being robbed here, I'm almost positive now :thumbdown:

That is babbelfish german at its best.
Most sentences don't even make any sense at all.

johan184 - you're best bet is to buy one from Japan directly through the auctions, or contact a reliable seller like n$a or thekobos and get one from them or do as I did and wait for one to turn up locally. I picked up a pristine HLD-X9 in December 2011 in the UK and saved a fortune by not having to pay import duties or hefty shipping costs as I reside in the UK. Good luck.

Let me know what he says, I actually looked at that one, but I dont understand french and I think he used pictures from an ebay auction. But let me know what he says. Really want one, I have saved up money to buy a X9 here in sweden but found out now when I was going to get it that it didnt work and the seller doesnt want to sell it non working. =)

Just out of curiousity I would like to get an answer from the seller. It's not like we have anything to loose by contacting him I think you can contact him now. I did, he saying that ebay got his package so I cant go to austria were he is and get it. But he can send you an ebay link so you can buy it with ebay security, but he only accept bank transfer = no protection at all. =) First mail: Yes Sir, I am in Austria, and I have it with me, actually in their custody here in Austria. If interested, can post it on eBay send you the link, and you can buy it from there under their best policy. I already have it sealed and ready to be shipped, in their custody. I have no more pictures. But upon delivery, after you will test it, you can receive the money back in the same day. the shipping will take 2-3 days from the moment the payment is confirmed. The payment will be through bank account only, to an eBay representative. if interested let me know, and I will post it right away, and you can buy it from there under their best policy. thanks, My response: sorry, but i didnt quite understand. were is this player located? i might actually be able to go to austria and pay this cash. otherwise, how many feedbacks does this ebay account have? dont get me wrong but there is only 1 reason for using direct bank transfer... i can pay the paypal fees. but like i said. i would like to go buy this in person, i dont mind a weekend of flying for that. His last response: Sir, I understand. I already have it in the eBay custody, sealed and ready to be shipped, with all the papers, these are the only pictures. Upon delivery you can test it, see it, with the refund option in the same day. So that is not a problem, also I am a vertical man and only made legit transactions, hence I will use eBay buyer protection, they will take care of shipping and payment. If you agree, confirm you want to buy it, I will post it on eBay, send you the link, and you can buy it under their best buyer protection. the shipping will take 3 days from the payment confirmation date.I repeat, you can see it test it, with the refund option in the same day. email me if you want it so I can send you the link ( only if you really want it ), shipping included. thanks,

I picked up a pristine HLD-X9 in December 2011 in the UK and saved a fortune by not having to pay import duties or hefty shipping costs as I reside in the UK. Good luck. Yeah I know. I am looking to buy locally first since I know how expensive it is to import one. I might go with Cpix X9 if I cant locate an X0, also waiting for a local seller here in my city. But an X0 would be prefered when I am on the spending mode. But I am a little picky, I would actually like to have the original box and manual. X0 is a pain in the a** to buy from japan now, since JAPAN POST dont ship items heavier than 30kg, X0=36. Its only super expensive air shipping from other companies.
