    I do have Ibasso D16 Taipan DAC/Amp in mint condition and never used on the go. I am the original owner.
    I want to sell it with all accessories, i purchased from Bloom.
    I'm asking 700 shipped.

    Thanks,
    mkozlows

    Hacked account alert. This screams scammer.

    No posts for over a year, and usually writes with perfect grammar based on past posts (unlike this), lower price than seen anywhere else...

    Tread with caution.

    Not hacked, just inactive for a while. Happy to provide verification and use a secure payment method. Let’s keep this respectful.

    I think it's more than respectful to warn folks of potential scams. Red flags are red flags. As I said, tread with caution.

    Absolutely, and my apologies I had no intention of being a jerk to you. Scams through hacked accounts have been off the chart lately on Headfi and here (less so) so I'm always a little wary. ;)

    Hmmmm this:

    mkozlows

    is what happens when you copy paste a username from the profile page of a user. who can't spell their own username? Sorry if this is legit I'm very interested Mkozlows. I guess if I use G&S I'm ok but it's still a huge hassle if it's a scam.

    No worries, I get the caution. Happy to proceed with PayPal G&S for buyer protection and provide any verification needed. Let me know how you'd like to move forward!

    I did put my user big as a sign. only! I hope you understand.

    @mkozlows account has been hacked and i was scammed for this D16 because I paid GS so I figured it coudon't be a scam but all the warning signs were there. I got my money back right away.

    But he should be banned hopefully with some way of coming back if he recovers his account.

    Also, I'm still looking for a D16 Taipan :)

    There were a million red flags. I guess paying with G&S doesn't mean it's not a scam, there must be a way around it scammers have found because both scams here on SBAF recentliy have been with G$S

    Yep. My PayPal account was hacked moments after paying a scammer with a GS payment. They went in and canceled my ability to ask for a refund on that payment. I eventually got it back but it was close.

    They also used my personal information on my PayPal to hound my previous address with a Facebook Marketplace scam for folks to buy a cheap (non existent) ATV. Around 4 people showed up at that address THE SAME DAY THIS HAPPENED expecting to buy an ATV and had already payed half of the asking price via PayPal to hold it.
