This guy on Craigslist in Los Angeles is selling Neumann U87 "clones". Check this out:
"...Back by popular demand, the Neumann U87 clones. These mic's sold out quickly; but I just got my hands on a new batch (new old stock). Very smooth, rich and warm sound, which means you won't get that nasty "SSSS's" from the cheap high-treble boost you hear in most other Chinese-made condenser mic's. Get a classic tone for LESS THAN A TENTH of U87 retail price! Just type "Neumann U87" in Froogle search and see how much of a price difference you're dealing with.
These mic's work well with voice and acoustic instruments, taming sibilance and high-end harshness. From user-reports especially good as room-mic's (e.g., for drums or guitar amps). Although not made to replace the Neumanns; they sound really great for what it's worth. So if you're looking for that sound without breaking the bank, here's your best bang-for-buck opportunity.
Originally made as pre-production models for SE electronics, yet never sold commercially so consider these as rare items.
Specifications:
-Large-Diaphragm Condenser microphone
-XLR, 48V Phantom Power
-Cardioid pattern
-Includes an internal switch, -6dB roll off @ 100Hz (to eliminate low-end rumble from mic stand, etc.)
-Comes w/ custom shock mount and protective jewel case
-Brand NEW, never opened, still sealed in shrink wrap (one in pic is a demo piece)
$250 each, or $450 for a stereo pair. Even more discount if you buy more, just ask me.
Email Tim for more info/questions/pics, etc..."

I'd like to get some of you guys to weigh in on this. Like the guy says, "They are not made to replace the Neumanns", but my question is have any of you heard of DAPRO mics? Is this guy trying to rip people off? And if they're good, Who want's to get in on a group buy?
