I got caught as well with the same story in Hawthorne California. The man was driving a gray Van and goes by the name Grant. I also called his cell phone number and it worked. I also looked at the delivery slip and his name was on it with the equipment. He told me that these items were just sitting in a warehouse and his boss wanted to get rid of it. I asked him why not ebay and he said that his boss did not want to ruin his reputation. Something about selling on ebay can cause Kirsch to stop having his boss sell their products. My biggest concern was if the items were Hot. He assured me that they were not Hot and because his name was on it, I figured why would he put his own job in jeopardy. Needless to say, I paid $475 for the K-10. He even let me keep the magazine that showed the MSRP for $3,100.00 even after I had already looked it up on my cell phone. He seem very nice but after reading this forum,

I feel like a fool. What is going to happen to all these items that people are buying? Why would anyone send in the warranty slip to an item that ahs been discovered to be stolen? Shall we call the company up and let them know that we have a potential stolen item and see if they would just give us our money back?

The good news: Before giving the guy my money I made sure that every piece of equipment was in the box. I immediately went home and set it up to see if it works. And what do you know, it works great. It is the actual system and it works perfectly. It was also bought at a great price. Ebay has them for starting bid $450 that is why I offered up $475 since that would have been just about the same costs if I won on ebay.

The bad news: The item may be HOT. Although at first I did not think it was HOT but since we all have the same story in this forum, how could I not believe that it is a HOT item :(
