Possible New Scam?

[Perry Werner]

Howdy:

Not sure if I'm accurate here but two recently (today, in the past few hours) two instruments were posted as up for bids on Ebay. I'm pretty sure I saw these both over the past two weeks and it appears as if the listing might have been lifted from the original postings. Also, the descriptions of the instruments are prefaced with what we might call profanity.

Here are the links.

If someone out there is more sure of my claims, please let them speak what they know about this.

If I am wrong, my apologies to those whom I have falsely accused.

 

Best,

Perry Werner

 

PS: Oops! Looks like they have already been removed. Guess I was correct!

I reported them last week. If he reposts them again, click to see what else he's selling. He has Loar era Gibson Mandolins, Fender Guitars, and all kinds of other very nice instruments with photos and descriptions stolen from other auctions. He has good taste. They all have an $1800 "Buy It Now" but the catch is you have to email him and do the deal outside of ebay.

 

I think he just hopes someone will email him before the auction is deleted, and he can con them at his leisure. Sadly, I bet it works.
