Yamaha V250 value?

[Degree of Freedom]

Anyone have any idea what a fair price for a 2001 Yamaha V250 EFI with 500 hrs and good compression? Including controls.
Found a deal that seems too good to be true.

Thanks
Dan

In regards to the value though of what they are worth,
a 2001 250 (swsII?) proboably worth 4~6 thousand?

Still not sure how you found out it was a scam...The gearslutz link is for a pair of speakers in Milwaukee, not outboards in Detroit...Did you get the same email response the gearslutz poster got?

The response I got to my inquiries about the outboards was word for word the same response posted on gearslutz for the speakers...it's an automated response and I'm not actually sure how the scam works. I found the link on gearslutz by googling
'Mike Steven + scam'
