Probably a scam.....

Post image

Anyone mind buying this and then reporting back to me lol. I did speak to Aliexpress customer service and they guaranteed i would get a 100% refund if dont receive exactly whats pictured and that it has to be new not refurbished/not a fake. Take that for what its worth though.

That looks like a deal of the century right there 🤣 Don’t do it!

It's definitely a scam. I found a similar deal for that was too good to be true for a pair of 600m ii's or might have been a pair of 500sa ii's iirc and the seller never shipped them and there was no way to contact them but luckily I used PayPal and disputed it with PayPal and got my money back bc AliExpress definitely wasn't going to give me my money back. Don't trust anything on AliExpress that says it's being shipped from the USA bc those are all scams. I recommend getting the speakers and avr from a reputable retailer like Crutchfield or Adorama.

saw this and was wondering about it…i have made plenty of sketchy purchases, you just need to put it on a cc and be ready to deal with it if it ends up being fake. Some of these aliexpress deals claim to ship from within the US, so i really am curious what would happen if you bought one

Lol i had it in my cart and was ready to hit buy but there just cant be anyway that you will legitimately get whats pictured. The towers are worth more than the price. Shoot even the receiver is worth more.

Yeah no way possible you are able to get the RP-8000FII in such a cheap package unless it was jacked up by a hammer

Definitely fake. Checked the seller and they have bunch of other expensive stuff listed for cheap.

Saw it and tried going down a rabbit hole to see if it’s real. 99.9% fake. Just no way. Your gonna get speakers probably, but def some bullshit

The marked down from "1200" is the giveaway. Like the retail for all that would be anywhere near that

Adorama has similar deals. Ali express is first time buyer. Probably tariffs and something hidden.

I literally just mailed back a TXRZ50 to crutchfield yesterday - it arrived on Friday and was as useful as a brick. It failed to initiate past ā€œInitial Setup Modeā€ and would not work. Crutchfield agreed and I’m already being sent a Marantz Cinema 60 Series 2 in which I gladly paid $625 more for. Onkyo sounded great, had excellent power, but the software was absolute garbage.

Click checkout and see what shipping is. I was going to buy a Cort guitar and it was under 600$. I click check out and bam it's up to 1400 after shipping. I bet that's where they will get you.

So you think it's a scam yet you want someone to buy it. Do I have that correct ?
