1977 Fender £270 - to good to be true?

[Gust0o]

Aren't Axlmusic the Chinese lot? Trivia only!

Sounds like a hoon.

Tell him you'll offer £400 to secure it immediately, but will need £5 in charges to cover the transfer/whatever by Western Union (the only way you'll do business of course; much like he'll only post).

The hoaxer might as well buy you a pint, at the very least.

Just a quick one, but has anyone actually reported this as a scam to gumtree?

Sent him a msg offering to pick it up - we should all do that!

It's an ad on gumtree, it's almost a given.

Oh well ads gone now.....you scared him off.

[bubinga5]

i sent him a message asking him if i could see the bass, as im a erm....Vintage Fender Jazz collector.. .he said i couldnt because he was away and he would let me know.....sorry i spoilt it, it may not have been me, but i told him to stop trying to rip people off...i hate people like this that have nothing better to do with there lives than makes others a misery by trying to rip them off....hes a scum bag...

just imagine if it was a newbee who maybe didnt have our foresight and shelled out his/her saved up cash to get there first bass, and this pxxxk takes it and runs...
