How To Get A Free Technics SL-1200 Turntable (EBAY)

"How To Get A Free Technics SL-1200 Turntable" I'm so curious about these on ebay. For 10 dollars, they send you instructions. Apparently the guy(s) who does this is some kind or a wholesaler, and gets overstock items!? Anyone had or knows anyone that had an experience with this?

yea...sounds like a scam

no way you can get techz that cheap legally

look at the guys most recent feedbacks and click on those items to see if people purchaced that same thing.. if you get lucky, they may just pass on the information to you. if he is just scamming people, turn the sucker into Technics. Thats what i have done before if you see those auctions that say shit like "how to get products at wholesale prices" but the honest truth is that you can not legally obtain items at wholesale prices unless you have a business license, and even at that point, (well at least in the state of california) you must also obtain a distribution license.. afterall why would you need to obtain items at wholesale unless you plan to distribute.. thats all legal mumbo-jumbo so if you don't care about the legality of things, go ahead and pay 10 bux, but i say its a wasted 10 bux and you should really try to get something from the people that already paid the ******..

Damn you for showing that to me...curiosity got the best of me so I fell for it. It was only $5.00 to get the information on how to get all that free crap...tunrtables, tvs, computer equipement.

I just bid now so I dont expect to get the information for a while. It says there is no shipping cost so Im actually assuming it will be sent to me over email.

As soon as I get the info, Ill fill you guys in on wether its a scam or not...or just what the deal is with it.

Hold tight.

hook us up with the info!!!

OK here goes...

Ok, once you pay your $5.00 you get emailed a word document explaining the technique.

And to sum it up, here goes:

Basically it explains about getting free samples in the mail...that crap everyone gets every now and then...toothpaste, cat food, cereal...etc. Then it goes on to say you can get big, expensive free samples too. "Usually all it takes is requesting a price quote and a sample unit, it�s that simple!"

...ah, maybe that simple when you already own a successful wholesale mail order company, and have some legitimate clout behind your name.

Yeah so this guy has a business where actually requesting a sample unit might prove profitable to these companies giving away their free TVs, turntables, and computer equipment. But to the average Joe like you or I...I highly doubt we would see any free swag heading our way...unless of course you come up with a pretty elaborate false identity which shows them they might profit by sending you a free unit or two.

Like I said that's the summed up version of the info I got. It also includes some tips and suggestions to make it work.

so it was a scam

Posted by DamnDirtyApe on Aug-23-2002 06:47:

Well, it might work if you could make up a fake record store or somesuch. Of course, doing so might result in fraud charges...

.... idiots = everyone that even had the FAINTEST hope of this working

I could of told you how this worked ahead of time, since you'd need to deceive the compagnies to get these products for free, it might as well be illegal.

advice for the person that bought that... release document to public domain and then sue the guy, that it didn't work..

at the very least, cancel payment on your credit card
