This is a First Class Scam artist. Just registered on the 27th. Zero feedback. All 4 auctions are scams.
Love the price he is "looking to get" for the Polk. $2,500? Yeah, Sure! I'll take a truckload at that price!

the sad thing about deals like this is, that once ebay is notified, and case proved beyond a doubt, they seldom take any action...as in take down the auction.
i have had a few cases like this, and, have discovered a few, and, reported them.
ebay said "oh...we'll look into it, and, thank you for keeping ebay a safe community".
B.S.!!!!!! THEY NEVER TOOK THE AUCTION(S) DOWN, LET THEM RUN TO FRUITION, AND A FEW OF THEM WERE NEVER SUSPENDED.
on the flip side, ebay will immediately suspend good sellers, with a good track record, for a minor, honest mistake, or, a computer glitch, ... which is why i no longer sell on ebay.

They let crap like this go on but they make sure I can't buy slot machine parts because I live in Nebraska. Somebody is going to get taken on these deals. They want to make the deals off ebay and avoid paypal so there will be no recourse.

I have a thought. We could ask this guy for more pictures. He has a number of auctions going. We each ask for more detailed pics of different auctions. He won't have them. Might not help, but might be interesting to hear his excuses.

If you ask for pictures, do not use his email address. Ask question via eBay mail.

If I miss the Ebay required verbage about legal slots, my listing is removed. But this guy can post somehow, his direct email address right in the listing which I thought was against Ebays policy???
