spinynorman Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Haven't we seen this before? Dealers put up the ad to take advantage of a free listing day and add the details later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderbird13 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Don't want to appear to be hounding this woman after all she may be legit BUT this must be the same bass [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/superb-c19th-double-bass/1001827842"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/superb-c19th-double-bass/1001827842[/url] although now it seems to have moved from Cheltenham to Bexley SE London . I think avoid on this occasion , although I am tempted to go round and have a look as I only live a few miles away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
