Paul Read Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 This particulat concertina is probably the most repeated scam on ebay. I took the photos so they should give me a cut of any profits There was also a Wheatstone duet on by the same scammer - now also departed.

Daniel Hersh Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 And now they're both gone. The repitition is interesting--I would bet that some enterprising crook is selling copies of the original listing to other scum as a scam opportunity. This particulat concertina is probably the most repeated scam on ebay.

Stephen Chambers Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 When I looked at eBay late last night there were multiple listing of both these instruments (about half a dozen of each), and I see at least a couple more this afternoon. Seems like an epidemic!
