Title: Series 2 - eBay - not quite right....
Post by: jix on November 28, 2010, 09:07:33 AM

Hi all,
 
There seem to be over 50 postings of this S2 on eBay at the moment - e.g.:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alembic-Series-II-bass-guitar-PRISTINE-AND-STUNNING-/390266662182?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item5addb4ad26 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alembic-Series-II-bass-guitar-PRISTINE-AND-STUNNING-/390266662182?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item5addb4ad26)
 
The photos definitely ring a bell for an S2 that was up for sale earlier in the year (and it's a lovely looking beastie!).
 
$2k BIN price, though, and so many listings.... is it me, or is this the worst disguised scam seen in quite a while!?!?
 
Cheers
James

James' link is now showing an item that has been removed; and a general Alembic search suggests that the others have been removed as well.
