PSA: some of the Schiit Audio Listings at Amazon getting hijacked by marketplace sellers

This is a PSA! It looks like Schiit Audio is no longer selling through Amazon. Some of their listings appear to be in the process of getting hijacked by opportunist marketplace sellers, as the product name and gallery pictures get changes to random things (cables and bluetooth headphones) but the customer reviews and answered questions remain. The old listings are of interest to anyone looking for reviews and answers about potential issues and Amazon should really preserve these because that’s one of the reasons people go to their website.

So don’t be surprised if your bookmarks for these show random crap:

+ the worst of all, the SCH-13 Sys Passive Preamp has been hijacked by a bluetooth headphone that has an active listing and it is selling on the strengths of the SYS review score
+ there’s also an HTML snafu where they didn’t end the bold tag properly, so all the customer reviews on the main product page are in BOLD

+ the Uber 2 listing is a lightning cable

+ the Magni 2 listing is another lightning cable

I’m not sure how they do it. Maybe they found a loophole to hijack it by creating additional options on the root product and then taking over because the root product is inactive? Regardless, this is BAD!

PS: but the co-founders e-book continues to be available for the Kindle for $4.99 or as a paperback for $15…
