Is an Epson 5050UB with 1K hours original bulb at $800 too good to be true?

Can you test it before buying? @BMXTRIX would be who I would trust for an opinion.

It's one state away. Settings page was posted with a few other pics.

It's on CLIST here:

EPSON 5050UB 4K PRO PROJECTOR $750 - electronics - by owner - sale - craigslist

Have a great projector for sale. This Epson is probably the best 4k home projector out right now for. Recent layoffs have put me in a spot where needing to sell it quick for bills. Message me if...

Doesn't have the typical signs of a scam but what do I know eh?

Man. It does look nice. Can those have the hours reset if a new bulb was added? I like to give the benefit of the doubt but just wondering.

Pretty much every projector I've ever seen is meant to have it's lamp hours reset when the bulb is changed. Most are set to track and alert the user based on lamp hour time.

I would only take that hours measurement as for that bulb, not total use time. Unless the seller says it's the original bulb and you take him at his word.

Seller says its the original bulb. I really wish manu's would put the total power on hours in that menu. There is a tech service menu I'm sure that will show much more logging information.

I'll probably steer clear of this since it's not local.

Well I pulled the trigger on this.

Well that was a turn around. Good conversation with the seller?

Yep, I just called. He'll ship it out tomorrow.

If the PJ works like it should I don't see how I could have done much better.

If it is as the picture shows and once you turn it on and check the hours, it is a very good find. $2600 new, nor sure how much for a new bulb.

Good luck with it! Let us know how it works out for you. Hopefully everything is good. That projector doesn't get a lot of talk about issues, so that's a plus.
