Great detector but I'll hold on to my R7 until R8 price drops more.

Oh so torn... My R7s speaker decided to crap out and my screen looks like it has burn in of sorts... Still works using an aux to a speaker though. Might hold out until we touch $500

Same. I purchased one, now trying to get a refund from Amazon. When I bought, the seller page was new enough it had no reviews. Now it is updated and all teh reviews state the predicted: scam, fake tracking numbers, etc.

I bit partially beceause I was curious how these sellers play their game. Basically they take advantage of the small time window before they get busted to try to net as much $ as possible, with long-delivery lag times to prolong the time before customers all notice

I don't recommend promoting the seller but it's helpful to leave the information around for future Slickdealers to learn from and avoid similar traps

Let us know how that Amazon refund goes. It looks like the tracking info provided is legit and is being updated.

It may update, but it's a random small envelope they send to another state or something. My tracking number shows shipped 2 days before my order date.

Amazon uses "shipped" status as the automatic trigger in their system to release the funds to the seller, so the sellers will either use these fake tracking numbers, or actually mail someone a worthless random envelope or something.

No, but I see multiple sellers on that item are fake, both "jguygk" and "XP Lite". If you click their seller name you'll see they have no reviews and the detailed seller info (they are all required to show an address now) displays some crazy long transliterated Chinese name with some random Chinese address. The seller I bought from was similar.

Amazon says I have to wait until the delivery window ends (45 days from now) then contact them again to ask for a refund. It's ridiculous but from what I found online this seems standard.

Hope this helps others in the future. I wish someone spelled out all the details to satiate my curiosity and help us understand exactly what these scammers are doing so we know what to look for.

This is how the scam works.https://youtu.be/_2vrbC5lTB0. Last year Amazon had 4 billion of fake listings. Those are the ones like these $140 to $170 a pop. stay away from it. Report this guy here https://www.amazon.com/sp?ie=UTF8...chant_link

Can't be to bright to think you are going to get a $700 detecror for 150 that just recently came out. I guess some people never learn the saying if it's too good to be true....

The deal isn't 629. May have been at one point but it's been 649 at bestbuy since blackfriday and never heard of it being any less from them.
