Outrageous Ebay Listing

[Stephen Chambers]

Here's a good one. Take a look at this allegedly 125-year-old Hohner which is probably not 60 years old.

That's a laugh alright, Hohner didn't even start making accordions until 1903 (after the death of Matthias Hohner, the founder), and that one (with its plastic keyboard) can't be any more than about 40 years old.

I like this bit: "Refunds given only if item is grossly misrepresented".

 

I assume it qualifies once it has been viewed 144 times....

Here's another. VINTAGE WESTERN GERMAN ACCORDIAN CONCERTINA BOX it says, then in the description it says, "THIS MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MADE IN THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC". I think it's okay s/he's selling accordions that way, but s/he shouldn't be allowed to vote

That's so blue it's painful!

 

I think they've heard you:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-High-Grade-B...1QQcmdZViewItem

 

And only $515 for the black option. In their "sellers other items" only $81.30 for shipping.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/High-Grade-Red-Pearl-M...1QQcmdZViewItem

Or how about red for $482, and $93.82 for shipping

 

I guess this would be a steal, considering it's their "high grade model". Could it be Mr/s. Morelli moved to China and opened up shop??

 

Thanks
