I bet it is not a serious seller but scam. Is there telephone number and a dutch name + surname? If not, beware. Sure the guy now lives abroad and can ship for free after payment with Western Union...

If I were a (dutch) dealer, I would certainly investigate here.

This is not right!

Really? Has that been reported to Marktplaats (eBay)?

If it is true, it is very strange that the add still is active. Has (Dutch representation of) B&O been made aware?

Hello,

 

I sell the beovision on marktplaats (dutch ebay). I hear all wild stories about the origin of the tv so far nobody with supporting documents or evidence comes to that support. I've done all I can do as a trader to see if they are not stolen etc by checking the serial numbers. Also, I updatet one of the TVs because it was said that you  could not update the tv because it was blocked by B&O it worked with no problems. Can anyone give me more information with evidence? Instead of just stories and personal opinions.

It's not that hard. Bang & Olufsen products only will be sold to official B&O dealers. So if you are a dealer if you have a invoice from a dealer there is nothing wrong. If you don't have both then it's 99,9% not legit. But you always can call a dealer with a serial check. They will tell you when the tvs are sold to the dealer/customer (or if they are never sold to a dealer then you are 100% sure they are stolen)

Well i have tried that with a B&O dealer, but they only thing they are telling is they wll not give any service for the televisions. So still i don't understand the buzz. I have a registered account for some years with marktplaats (dutch ebay) if there was something shady with my advertisement than they would let me know. btw i have checked all the serial numbers on checkmend they were all clear.

Well, since there was stolen a truckload of televisions from Denmark a month ago or so, I would be very careful buying one of these.

The seller should be able to show invoices for where and when they were bought. Looks kind of funny, where are these televisions from ?

what is checkmend? never heard of this? As mentioned earlier, i assume you will have a sort of invoice from a Bang & Olufsen dealer, so if you have then there is no problem. 

And as you are the seller then it's you're responsibility to proof that they are stolen, it's not that the potential buyer has to proof to you that you will sell stolen items? It's the wrong way around i think
