What the heck....Ebay strangeness

[BigEarl]

It's a BOOK on fender basses, c'mon man!

 

[Mustang Surly]

Anybody who didn't click on the links before about 3:30 this afternoon needs to go back and read the ENTIRE thread.

 

[PanRap]

My thumb rule.
Don't waste time on anything that doesn't have actual instrument photos, but just generic ones from online catalogues.

 

[Watchootognbout]

This link doesn't show an instrument to buy, but a book about Fender Precisions from 1951-1954.
It's 26,23 for the hardcover version and the name of the seller is moviemars-books.

What is not to understand about an ad with the title:


???

"This link doesn't show an instrument to buy, but a book about Fender Precisions from 1951-1954.

That's the "next nearest item" search result that comes up now that the original listing has been removed. It isn't what you would've gotten had you clicked an hour ago.

Please read the Ad, It's a book, not an instrument

NOW it's a book!
Yesterday it wasn't!
I should have saved the five bass pictures.

The lure of something for nothing. Turns wise men into fools.

Heee’s a bad scamma jamma .... sing it ya know ya wanna

Why would you waste all that money on “Drums” of all things.. No self respecting bassist would do that....

 

[Mustang Surly]

Well, the same scam has popped up again already: different "seller", different "location", same quick 24-hour auction, same ridiculously low-no reserve price, same PIC, same description. Here's a screen shot of one of them:

OK, doubters?

 

[Mustang Surly]

The other bogus basses are all there if you click the "see other items" button in the above auction.

The auction:

1967 Guild Starfire II Bass Guitar wBisonic Pickups | eBay

You'd better click quick before it vanishes. But not to worry, it will soon return.

 

[Mustang Surly]

Contrary to the laws of physics, the item exists simultaneously in both Smackover Arkansas and Hamburg, Germany, should you prefer being fleeced for Euros instead of USD:

Self-destructive urge to be fired, for once, instead of rage quitting?

Now THAT bass no longer exists!

 

[Mustang Surly]

"Now THAT bass no longer exists!"

Please understand: such rare, vintage instruments tend to occupy a somewhat ethereal state, fluctuating back and forth between existing and not.

 

[Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati]

MustangSurly deserves an applause BRAVO!

 

[chandman1004]
