scam or spam?

[Marien]

a wheatstone octagonal treble on ebay.

 

I am passing on this one, I am just wondering about the `buy it now price only` phylosophy. The seller has positive feedbacks, but these buy it now offers always ring a bell, especially when message windows are popping up alarming the buy it now price...

 

Any ideas about this seller?

This seller has been doing this for a while now... it is a scam and has been discussed on this forum several times... as I recall the instrument in question belongs or belonged to one of our members and certainly not the person advertising it on Ebay.

 

Beware !

Definite scam. I have reported it. The pop-up is new to me though.

Teepee,

have you picked up the wrong end of the stick ? I think that Marien's post was about an Octagonal Wheatstone which keeps on croping up on ebay at a very low starting bid and with a bargan price "buy it now" ... which is from a definate Scammer.

 

I am certainly not sure that the one you have linked to here is a scam, just a re-listing.

I was wrong, don't know what make me think this way...

I'm very sorry, thank you for your advice.

I can assure you that the model 25 is NOT a scam. I do not and have NEVER EVER attempted to scam anyone. This is a genuine decent quality instrument. Please be more careful about who you accuse in the future.
