Christian Husmann Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hello folks, I can surely recall this Duet as it has been for sale some weeks ago. Did anyone follow the former auction? Duet at ebay.com have a nice week-end Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Blatant fraud! Almost certainly a hijacked account. This language in the listing is a HUGE red flag: PLEASE READ !! Is no need for you to bid on my auction chhsell@gmail.com Immediately purchase 1000$ Contact eBay!!!! Hello folks, I can surely recall this Duet as it has been for sale some weeks ago.

Duet at ebay.com have a nice week-end Christian If my memory serves me correctly, that was up for sales some weeks ago from someone based in Cheshire (UK) - now it's appeared over in the USA. I think it went initially for around the £2500 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yes definitely a re-run of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Hersh Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I just reported it to eBay via chat (using their "Live Help" function). If anyone has the original listing number, I'd suggest another report to eBay with that in hand. (Though this one is so blatant that they may take it down without that.) Yes definitely a re-run of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Husmann Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Oh good, that went away quickly! We´ve got a good rate in having this false stuff removed Greetings Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 On this occasion I simply reported the seller for offering to sell the item without going through eBay channels. It's very apparent from the listing, and obviously something that eBay don't like to see happening (they don't get their "cut", apart from anything else). It seems to work faster than reporting a "cloned" listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel I would like to compliment the Concertina.net community for keeping such a strict eye on these re-surfaced and phony adds. I can't imagine any other instrumental community actaully watching out for stolen or false adds. Well done lads!

DavidFR Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.com/MINT1926-WHEATSTONE-DU...1QQcmdZViewItem its back I wonder if there's any way we at Concertina.net could "certify" ebay auctions as legitimate without a whole lot of work and without allowing our "certification" to be copied. It just occurs to me that this community knows most of the reliable sellers and/or people with a spare box to sell, if not directly then through a friend or other contact. -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
