Does This R8 Look New To You?

I've passed on a few radios on Ebay that were advertised as new because the
pics just didn't look as described.

He doesn't say "New", he says "Like New". He offers a lot of rhetoric right
out of the manual, but completely avoids any mention of the condition or
how long it has been in use.

I see a few scratches and chips in the pics. Maybe that's just poorly generated
pics. In the end, people bid on what they want. If you feel it's a good
deal, then bid on it. If not, don't. You can always send him/her email and
ask a few questions. And after all, it's your money.

There's another up there (5736780456) that has a 'buy-it-now' price of $750, and a
starting bid of $400. I somehow doubt that he'll get $750 for an R8.

looks slightly beat up to me...

perhaps it ought to read "slightly abused - numerous minor scratches and
dents."

Considering the age, not too bad. I have a R8 here I bought in '94 from
someone who needed rent money fast...$250, so I got a great deal. But $599
looks very steep for a R8. You look under the hood, and wonder why these
were selling for so much. There's no magic in these cabinets.

So assuming the $599 indicates where his reserve price is, I would pass on
it.
