don't do it man. its quite a risk just to save yourself 300 bones. being a victim of fraud is no fun. you feel really shitty and your out of your cash.
its prolly stolen equipment or a used or broken one. or they are just flat out scamming you. to get a UPS tracking number all they have to do is give UPS a box to ship and give a fake sending address.

you should also look up consumer reports on the company. any retailer that uses western union is incredibly sketchy. plus they say they are from italy and have the texas state in their logo??

stay away man.

NO... WAY...

do not buy anything from this place. look at the prices for the other products... waaaaaaaaay too cheap. also there are so many things wrong with this seller.

1) like everyone says they use western union... that has ripoff written all over it.

2) stated above, they are from italy but they have a picture of texas on their logo? wtf?

3) look at the website name... http://www.altexitaly.o-f.com. notice that it is a subdomain of a free hosting company... o-f.com. what kind of online electronics site cannot afford their own domain? so sketchy.

4) look at their website... that design is so shitty. not professional at all. looks like it was put togeather in 5 minutes.

They also use Yahoo for their e-mail. I would think a legit business would have something a little more professional than THAT.

Trust me on this... its a scam.
I had the same deal when I was first purchasing my mixer... first it was "supposedly" a dutch auction from a legit ebay jewellery and electronics store for a vestax pmc-37pro mixer... at the time the best retail was like 800 they were "selling" it to me for approx 550 USD. Asked for either a cheque or wire transfer to f**king singapore from a store thats supposedly british. Anyways I'm abou to do it anyway (n00b at the time) but the day i was about to... ebay emails me tells me the user has been kicked off and the ebay account for the store was compromied/hacked. Jerkoffs...
Another time I got the exact same scam as you... this time for a DJM 600, gave me a tracking # and asked me to wire transfer them money through western union... seller said they needed money really badly and was going to sell it for $500 bucks USD PLUS they'd pay the wire transfer charge. They wanted the money really quick...why? Cause the very next day ebay emails me and tells me about this scamming piece of garbage telling me not to send money and if I have report to like credit authorities and what-not...
This is ebay tru,
however ive received emails from supposed store reps who said theyd seel me sh*t for deals too good to be true from places like lingerie stores!!! wtf!! don't trust them unless they give you a picture of the box and UPS gives the details of the package shipment and/or the store at least has been verified - this one has not.
No way in hell theyd ship to you for free overseas... it would cost over 100 bucks just to do that plus theyre selling you that mixer 200 bucks already cheaper than the closest best price.
It's a scam I say... stay away... please scammers must be stopped...

btw i only nearly dodged these scams
so just be careful

Thanks for everyone's reply. I think I will take your advice. I was VERY sceptical and I see I'm not alone. I'll go with planetdj.com or djmart.com.

If you think that's bad, you should see the emails this guy is sending me! ALL CAPS AND LOTS OF THESE->!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The threats have already begun. It's actually quite laughable. It's like he's taking it a little too personally. I'm really getting a kick out of this.
