Well, shortly after my initial contact they did pull all the auctions for my style. Then a few days later they sent me an unsolicited email thanking me for bringing this to their attention, letting me know they found other players of the same model with similar issues, and, yet again, apologizing for the inconvenience it had caused me.
A couple days after that, the player was back, but at the two lower capacities.
Could it have been a scam? Sure, but if it was they were among the best at it I've seen and I worked in Timeshare in the Nineties, so I've seen it all.
Could it be they got scammed? I find that more likely. And it just happened that they found out about it when I brought it up. None, and I mean none, of their behaviour on the service side makes me think they sold it to me knowing what it was. Heck, they asked me twice to consider sending it back prepaid at their cost. And that is something no one running a scam has ever done!
So yes, I think they had someone check every single player from that manufacturer. And yes, I think that they are now selling the MT29 and MT26 models at their actual capacity. Again, not something I'd see a scammer doing. ;-)
