eBay Scam

[lovebrigade]

I was looking at Geddy Lee Jazz Basses on eBay and came across one seller who is selling like 5 in different auctions all starting at like $1. Some of the auctions are getting past $100 and so i was like maybe these are legit. So i look and this guy has the same picture for all of them which is not of the actual bass but just a standard geddy lee bass pic and has one feedback AND is located in Thailand. What are these people thinking? Arent they the slightest bit suspicious?

Heres the Link:

His two feedbacks are for items that cost 0.03. Yikes! I wouldn't touch that with a 3000 mile pole!

I bet you could buy a 3000 ft pole on ebay for $0.03

you should notify ebay

Member since Dec 25th, both feedback from the same guy?

The bit I love is that it must be in its origional package for the return policy to apply. So you really can't even open it to check if it works without destroying the policy.

I sent him a message asking if I could se a picture of the bass he has because the one on his listing of a stock photo from Fender.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

He hasn't actually sold ANYTHING! He bought those two items. The 1 feedback is as a buyer.

I saw that too. For me it screams scam. Anyone who sells multiple expensive items like that is either a music retailer having a sale, or a scam artist. How, and more importantly, why, would an individual have more than 2 Geddy Lee basses to sell at the same time? Do you shell out $8,000 to buy 10 of them to resell? I doubt it.

"A perfect replica of Geddy's J" Does this mean it is a counterfeit like so many of the Ibanez guitars from there?

[jp1994]

Is there any way to warn people about these scams?
Can the bidders be contacted and warned?
Would that be a violation of Ebay's policies?
I can't believe people are actually bidding on these!

 

[stedtale]

if you bid on this, the terrorists win.

It's about as legit as most of the 50s and 60s Fenders on the 'bay, or for that mattter 50s an 60s parts.

Careful.
I unloaded a LOT of 60's t-Bird parts when I house-cleaned a year or two ago. In the 70's I had three 64's and a 76 so all the handrests, pickup covers, etc. that were in "the dusty ignored boxes" got eBay. There was also a broke-neck one that got entirely de-parted(it was my spare parts bin). It was the 2nd broke neck of those and the last 64 I bought(partly for that reason). I've still got a 64 pickguard that has not surfaced yet. It is(was) not cracked or yellowed at the parts donor stayed in a 60's case. It should pay for a few sets of strings.
