All good advice. That repeated auction thing is a very common
scam. Don't be tempted to contact those people because some
can be very sophisticated in the ways they suck you in.
This current guy does have a reasonable feedback profile built
up so he ∗probably∗ legitimately has a CS80 there. And, as noted,
a $3500 BIN can be a decent deal when nice examples of these
things can touch $4k.
But I must stress, that is WAAAY too much money to just send off
to a guy and hope a gigantic beast survives the shipping and all
is like he claimed. Unless you have the time to road trip it
out to CA I'd steer clear and wait until one shows up in this
half of the country.
Speaking of which, dude it's too bad you missed the one that was
IN Chicago last November. It was mint, original owner, all
original documentation and accessories, sold for $3575. I know
because it now sits in my basement.
