Well, Steve, don't get too broken up about this one, or at least the one that generated these pictures and exactly the same text, because it sold about a month ago on eBay. The price I believe was between $4000. to $5000.!! That's a fairly hefty price for a duet in pristine condition let alone rusty reeds. Headed for the anglo conversion factory no doubt.

So dollars to donuts this one out of Latvia (Latvia!!) is a scam.

Here is a link to the original cnet discussion of the legitimate auction.

I hope your neck and back are doing better.

The good news is there appear to be two different, very nice, genuine Jeffries Duets for sale on ebay.co.uk right now.

Right. Duets come in pairs.
All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

Except for the treble, of course.

And this listing is now back again, twice! It's here on eBay, allegedly in Bulgaria, and also here on Craigslist, allegedly in London.
