I saw a LO50 for sale on Amazon.co.uk for £375. The listing instructs one to contact the seller directly. I contacted them, and the listing mysteriously disappeared. A couple of days later I received this email:
Hello,
First of all let me apologize for the late answer.
Let me explain you how you can buy my Mafell LO50E 240V Router with Maxi Case
The item is brand new, never used, but i can't list it as a new product due to Amazon policy, they don't allow me to list it as a new product. The item will comes with original box and accessories and 2 year international warranty.
If you are wondering why the price is lower than the usual,it is because we have some promotional prices . The offer lasts 7 days.
The total price is £376.00, including all shipping costs to Europe. If you want to buy it, please send me your shipping address(phone number, your complete name, street name and number, zip code and city) I will immediately send the required data to Amazon Department. They will contact you with the order and details about payment and shipping. You will have to complete the payment with them. Dispatch will be by normal UPS Services, which takes 3-5 days, depending on where in the United Kingdom you are located.
My return policy is full refund in 21 days.
For more information, please don't hesitate to contact me!
Regards,
Being a cynic I took it no further, aside from Googling a cut-&-paste and seeing lot's of similar scams reported. They are interesting scams in that they often target hard-to-get things, so clearly require a little prior research on the part of the scammer. Props to this particular one, he must know that there's nothing that Mafell users like more than 'hard to get' unless it’s ‘in our hands’.
Speaking of the LO50, Aaron wrightwoodwork I know you have a Festool 1010 and an Erika router table, do the holes in the 1010 base align to the holes in the table?
