A Caution:

I recently posted a list of SCR-183 items I was seeking
here and on other sites.
All of them are scarce- some probably extinct.

I received this reply:

If the wording makes "red flags" go up, it should.
I've asked for photos and a specific list twice.

His only reply:
--------------------
yes i have photos 
let me know which exactly the item you want
and your locatand 
thanks

---------------------

While I'm not certain yet, this is probably a common
"I have what you want- can't find the photos but send the money"
scheme.  Even if they do produce photos, it's usually pix
they've cribbed from Ebay or Google.
I'll be very interested to see the photos of his
"full working and physical condition" SCR-AD-183.
I've notified his provider.

Beware:  If it doesn't "smell" right, it probably isn't right.
