Is this the latest eBay scam?

Done. I'm interested to see what he comes up with for an answer. I have nothing better to do than troll scammers tonight.
This is fascinating. I wanna hang out with this guy.
The other reason to walk away is you just don't want bad vibes, bad memories attached to your instrument. It isn't worth it, even if you got a great deal. Your instrument is something you'll be holding in your arms and sharing with it your time, effort, aspirations and love of the music. You really don't want any dark stuff getting in the way. I've been there.
The scammer with the Balkan email address. 
Same for me. I've got 600 feedback and many years on eBay. Never have to wait for funds.
This is one of the most entertaining threads I've read here. What a numbnut that troll is!
This made me burst a loud laugh, how perfectly and succinctly stated; being at the top of the food chain has to be the only possible reason that explains why these mammals reach adulthood. In primitive times a leopard would have taken care of this....
As I get older, I am getting more and more inclined to further encourage acts of idiocy when they come to me; I have found that my arguments trying to convince people otherwise are easily dismissed or forgotten, mostly due to the limitations they have to inderstand what I am trying to say; the best is to accelerate their process by pure and unconditional encouragement, which indefectibly ends on some sort of catastrophic result.
We don't save the situation, but things evolve faster this way. It is the new law of nature.
This guy sounds like a winner. First, I'd never buy from someone with no feedback rating, and how are you on Fleabay for 7 years with no rating? Also as mentioned earlier, they might hold the funds to the seller but he's expected to ship the item. This ad is total BS.
Maybe he's not a scammer just a little loco. Anybody understand this.
This joker keeps relisting the bass on ebay. I wonder what it takes to get the ban hammer up there?
Meanwhile, it is fun watching you guys troll the troll...

This makes so much want to scribble my own note and send the guy $620 just for the privilege of doing so. I wouldn't expect anything in return for him getting a custom written (by me) note along with all that money. We need to help out the needy, you know! 
Nothing new about this scam. This was being done in 2005 when the Xbox 360 came out. Pepole were selling "Xbox boxes" and shipping only the Xbox box. Lots of ads out there using vague language like this.
So you brought him here.....
Yeah but in fairness he didn't last long...
Someone mentioned small claims court...
Judge Judy would roast this guy so hard...
