Mac Music is doing his best to manage the classified ads section but there can be some swindler lurking around like the japanese vendor which was proposing a G4 mac for a very cheap price (pretending to be in humanitary mission in Burkina Faso) and asking for a Western Union transfer before the sending of the Mac, quite suspicious so in brief be very careful when you see such a good (too good!) offer in the ads section.

Mac Music ads are updated every day and contains around 13 000 ads managed by our friend Babaille (thanks to him for his nice work).
