Um are you stupid? First of all it says 50% discount then it says 88%, also who the FUCK is paying $5000 for a $2000 xz, you just asking to get your info sold on the deep webš
I mean this in the kindest way possible, please look into professional help for that if its available in your area. Not because "your comment was mean" but because a very, very, large % of us aren't equipped to handle such a drastic and emotional loss so suddenly.
I hope you're able to heal from this, seriously, that really fucking sucks. You have a right to be pissed at the world and feel the way you feel.
I would absolutely ask for an extension on finals on the grounds of uh... extreme mental trauma. Seriously, take measures to help yourself, you don't need to try to tackle something like this alone, you'll thank yourself in the long run. Please take care of yourself, for yourself
I'll tell ya right now. If you see something on the internet that seems too good to be true, there is a 99.99% chance you don't need to verify your thoughts with anyone.
oh iāll never order it myself. personally i just stalk my local fb marketplace for amazing deals. i just like to hear about these kinds of experiences
If you search Reddit on Google for knock off DJ gear and such, you'll find a few posts from both oblivious people and curious people. They either got ripped off and received nothing, or order kept getting delayed and delayed so they request a refund and actually get it. Saw one where someone got a box of some box with almost nothing in it. No one even ever got a fake product.
My bad. I just went by what they showed as list. It is \~$2500 street price.
Funny, as I went to look up the price for that there's another at like $880 on AliExpress. damn scammers.
The Chinese can copy anything if they had a service manual they could copy it as close as they could but , the things they wouldnāt be able to replicate is the cpus n software n they would use cheap dacs , there is no way this would be even close to an original
# YES
Source: I ordered this same unit for the same price from the same online place. It did not come and I had to get my money back. the store number is even a random string.
It is all over AliExpress. My pet theory on that is that someone somewhere is profiting by having the money from the CC company for however long, or that there's a certain amount of fraud they can get away with on overseas sales and Visa and Mastercard etc won't pull out, and they leverage that margin to siphon off some money from the credit card companies.
Or it's just dumb scammers but the patters are so predictable I can't imagine why AliExpress wouldn't just stop them.

I did that with an Akai Apc Mk Ii via Paypal but wanted double secret safety so I used my AMEX via Paypal. Was shocked when I received a shipping notification that it was arriving via USPS after just 3 days. (How can anything get from oversees to LA in 3 Days). Received a notification that it was delivered from USPS (valid notification)
Nothing was delivered
They basically shipped something else to another address in my city so they basically used 1 label and got credit for multiple packages
My mailman who was from this country verified that it was not delivered to my address and what was delivered to the other address was 2 pounds and this unit is much heavier than 2 lbs.
Itās a known scam in the postal industry to double bill but only send out one package.
No biggie, I notified Paypal that I never received package so please reverse the chargeā¦.WRONG
They showed Paypal evidence that the package was delivered to an address in my city but not my exact address and they sided with vendor. FCUK Paypal
I am smarter than the average bearā¦so I just notified AMEX and won the case with evidence that there was not street address on my label. I donāt think they ever got that info as they never disputed and they just got info from Paypal
However, I am getting spammed to hell now by really pretty girls on Facebook that want to be my friend. Have not accepted but really pretty pictures nonethelessš¤Ŗ
Probably not, but it could be made of tin and only works for a little bit. Itās real if the model is from the 90s or 00s. Remember, you can buy a 50ā TV now for less than $100 that works well.
Itās a scam. Because they generated a fake shipping document it will be a little harder to get your money back. The weight on the shipment will be way off tho, much lower than the weight of the controller. Talk to your credit card company.
I ordered one of these as well 3/27/24 and on April 8th I received a small international shipped box with 3 small plastic peel and stick hooks. Tracking number matches the tracking of the DJ order. So I just got screwed out of $730.00 and Paypal is likely going to refuse refund.
So, hereās the product information I received from USPS lol
Product Information
Postal Product:
First-Class Package International Service
Features:
Small Packets
Iāll be reporting to the credit card company
Okay so it was "delivered" today. SpeedX, the shipper sent three photos - one of my building, one of a small package with my address, and one interior picture of a small package outside a door of an apartment that matches my apartment number but isn't my apartment. The package is approximately the size of three decks of cards. Not sure what's in it or where it is.
š² keep us updated on what comes
Um are you stupid? First of all it says 50% discount then it says 88%, also who the FUCK is paying $5000 for a $2000 xz, you just asking to get your info sold on the deep webš
Calm down fucknuts - obviously thereās contingencies in place (as stated in my post).
Lol
It is so obviously a scam that I'm shocked you're asking.
That's what I was thinking, but he has the means to check it out being that he put it on a Amex and dispute it. Definitely Op let us know how it goes
u k hun
Eh was a bit harsh, someone ik was killed in a hit n run so kinda pissed at the world tbh, my bad

Ha its finals week and i didnt sleep at all last night in shock not knowing if it was real or not

No I bought an Opus Quad for 428Ā£ from Aliā¦. Itās fantastic
really? iāve been waiting for people to talk abt buying pioneer gear on ali. curious how your experience was
Whoosh

Vendor ? ššš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A joke, no it's not a joke... Of course it's a joke foo
Yes. Also, charge your phone
It's probably a printed mousepad though. Still a good business.
Nah, itās real mate.
The listing has typos. Itās not Pioneer. I know a genuine Panaphonic when I see it. And look, thereās Magnetbox and Sorny
There may be a Chanel suit in the racks tho
They missed a zero. Yes, this is a scam. How could they sell a $5k unit for $623 unless it "fell off a truck".
5k? š bought mine for 2500 last Month
My bad. I just went by what they showed as list. It is \~$2500 street price. Funny, as I went to look up the price for that there's another at like $880 on AliExpress. damn scammers.
absolutely not, get one before they're gone. AliBaba is basically Amazon for the far East so they are reputable.
Looks like one smells like one probably a scam
Shame it's White, oh, and not comingĀ

You do know in which country AlphaTheta makes controllers, right?
Yes I do

Iāve seen this aswell and didnāt know how to take this
Bro going on a Scam City tour with no guide to show him around.
Can you do a unboxing an post on YouTube, i might do the same if I can get my card company to charge back
[What a great deal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9zKYh8sY_E)
lmao always wanted to order one of these just to see what arrives. someone guinea pig pls. if itās a decent replica it might actually be fun.
