If it is too good to be true, it usually is. :)

The "too good to be true" thing does happen - a week or two ago a 1977 Ibanez Les Paul Custom copy, left handed (incredibly rare) one owner from new, not played in 20+ years, original case - appeared on my local Gumtree for £50. These things will see the better side of £500 on Ebay these days.

I missed it by about 5 minutes. :)

070 numbers are personal numbers - companies like callsure used to let you choose a number - you'd get 070** and then you could chose the ****** bit with whatever you wanted and then set up a divert to your normal number - the idea was you could change your phone and not have to worry about the number - this was of course before number portability came in and was made a lot easier.
The but is that to call one costs upwards of 50p a minute and i have no idea if you can set the line up and receive revenue from it (thereby scamming anybody who rings). I don't think they can receive texts and if the phone owner decides to text from that phone, the text will come from the actual number (as do return phonecalls I think) and not the personal number.

I'm surprised anybody is using one these days to be honest

It does happen occaisionally.
I missed out on an Antoria Jazz Bass @£35 ono, which from the photo looked immaculate, in local free ads paper about a month ago. Was being sold just as I phoned. :)
Don't know why, I didn't offer the seller double there & then!

There again I picked up my lovely Rickenfaker (with case) while ago in the same paper for equivalent of £90, as well as Shaftesbury Telebass more recently for £20 :huh:

I bought a mint Alembic Series I that had been hanging on the wall of a millionaires house since new - never played, still had original strings on it that had plenty of life in 'em.

I won't tell you how much I paid for it but believe me, I could make £3k profit on it and my hand would be snapped off!

A good deal.......but not as good as this.......
