They also have about 5 or 6 other auctions selling the 57's in 4's, mostly "buy it nows" but some bidding in other auctions.

They have to be fakes right?
If not that's one hell of a deal.

What? Not really. Used SM57s regularly go for under $100, so getting 4 for $300 isn't too surprising. If you look on eBay almost all the second hand SM57s wil be under $100. I think they only cost that new in the US anyway? They're much more expensive over here, like a lot of things.

They're only around €109 new on Thomann. So that's not even that great a deal for 4 second hand ones.

I've just heard a lot of stories of fake Sm57s being sold on Ebay. They are made in China.

And the fact that the guy ultimately has 32 used Sm 57s for sale doesn't seem weird?

Maybe. Probably a studio clearout though.

Well I messaged a few of the buyers so hopefully I'll get some word back. They all gave positive feedback. Have to wait and see.
Will buy them if legit. I was going to buy one from Thomann but I may as well get 4 for the price of 2 if they are real.
