I always wonder about a seller who claims to be the original owner and doesn't have the power supply.  And I doubt this is really a 24 scale. What would you call that, a soprano bass, maybe?  A big electric uklele?

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I would suspect the guy maybe hasn't played it in 10-20 years and the blue box wasn't stored in the case.  If he lived with a woman like mine who insists on straightening up on a periodic basis with no memory for where things belong, it could easily be misplaced.  Tell him to look under his tool bag in the basement, it could be there.

If you read the description, he says it's a Medium Scale.  When he said 24, he must've been referring to the number of frets, unless it was a typo and he meant 34... but as we all know, a Medium Scale is 32...  That's my best guess, anyways.
 
Peace;)
