Roscoe Beck 5 in NJ

Ugh I was all set to drive out from NYC and get it, but when I asked for the address, turns out it's in Raleigh, NC and the listing address was a mistake.
That's a pretty large red flag. Seen a couple of these pop up, where a hot deal is in your area... but it's actually not.
Someone pulled this with drums around here a week ago.
Seems like they are trying to get someone to send money, hoping for a delivery. Dollars to donuts, whoever does that loses some money.

Also FWIW, there isn't a listing for one in Raleigh. Fishy...

I mean, if I was selling a bass like that and SOMEHOW accidentally filled out an NYC listing, accidentally typed Trenton NJ as the location, then somehow also spaced on the fact that I was actually in Raleigh NC... I'd at least list it in NC.

The again, it may be wiser to see a doctor because that kind of memory issue tends to indicate serious problems.
Or a scam.
Just sayin' ;)

Also, they just apparently updated the listing 2h ago, but didn't move to the correct city:

Also also, I hate to harp on this particular area, but there is an Alembic Distillate for sale on the same page:

Word for word, pic for pic, same bass that sold on eBay a short time ago:

Something is afoot!
