6000 hour lifespan on new tubes? What a moron!

Looks like the eBay seller ID might have been stolen as well. Scam alert!

I'm especially impressed that they're getting 12000 lumens out of a 701s. Must be why they think it's worth $4k; most of that is for the thermonuclear reactor they've got pumping out the light.

The seller also stole the specs and picture from this site:

http://www.projectorspecifications.com/showdetail.php?id=28

and modified them to his liking, such as 12,000 lumens and EM focus.

I realize that but some think it is a scam. It may be overpriced but it might be nice to know if it is for real if he relists it for a reasonable price.

He replied to me too. I'm sure it's a legit ad, the set exists, but I sent him a nastygram for stealing text that is incorrect.
