Ad response - you can't but love it :)

[nemo]

Hi guys, let me share the story..
Currently I have the bass for sale ad on our local "craglist" type of server (hudebnibazar.cz).

I got the response from a lady from Netherland, which I did not expected as this server is a local Czech one.

It got interesting later, so just read and enjoy..

Hi Nathalie, what a surprise! I didn't expect anybody from abroad will pop up..

Anyway, I have already one seriously interested guy in Prague, and another one mildly considering it.
I will bring the bass to try for the first guy next Friday.

In case he will not take it, you can have it for 1890 EUR + any shipping costs from Ostrava city (Czech) to Scotland.

Take care, Petr

Oh great Natalie, it is very kind of you that you are willing to satisfy your daughter's urgent need of the Sadowsky bass.

I also have a soft spot for the Nigeria, it is very nice country with honest people.
I would like to make your daughter even more happy, with even nicer bass.

I am sending you the Sadowsky M24 NYC model in Cherry burst with Solid Cherry Back with excellent quilted maple top.
The bass has Nordstrand big singles and of course the Sadowsky electronics.

I cover the shipping. You will have it free. All you need to do is to print the enclosed bass on a colour printer, and pin that bass above your daughter's bed.

I am sure she will be very happy. And you can't beat the price.

Sincerely yours,

Petr

You should be ashamed of yourself! I have done business with many people in Nigeria and sending presents to loved ones there, and I expect the money to come in anyday now....as soon as my bank clears up some questions about how my account suddenly got empty......

[boing]

Sounds like a scam. Any serious buyer would want a pic of the Solid Cherry Back.

[neatobassman]

I am so glad those scams are international. lol

[Steady Eddie]

Hey Man, that's a good price for a Sadowsky. You should take it.

[Oopsdabassist]

I bet you didn't get a reply to THAT Nicely done my friend.. I'm proud of you!!!

[Rattman]

[thump_dumpster]

can ya tell 'em to put a hurry up on that 250 million u.s. the crown prince is sending me.... i need new strings

[ashtray]

Willing to ship to the US? If so, I actually have funds tied up in a Czech bank that was an "inheritance" from a prince who suddenly passed away. I would be willing to actually wire you $1M local currency, if you'd ship me all your basses. I just need your bank account info, id #, passwords, mother's maiden name, birthday, passport #, a 2"x2" photo of yourself, and a sample of your dna.
