And to think it sold for only $59.  I was toying with the idea of $60, but who needs another movie star bass to sell...

Well...wonders really never do cease - It's back again!  This time the BIN is $6999, still no reserve, 24 hour auction and now bidders have to be preapproved by the seller (to use the term loosely).  It's up to $405.  Too rich for my blood.

the last time i made a post regarding the last sale of the conqueror, you may recall my postings that i had begun receiving a bunch of really bizarre emails from someone claiming to be the real owner. after i posted some of what he was sending me here on the forum, the emails stopped. i've pretty much convinced myself it was the fraudulent seller sending me those emails but i guarantee you whoever it was reads the forum posts. it's a shame a hurricane can't suck the fake seller out to sea so we can be done with it once and for all.

Hey guys. As some of you already know, I sold the real Roman Conqueror about two months ago to another club member using ebay's Auction Cafe. Of course, that hasn't stopped the blood-sucking leeches from practicing their trade.  
 
I'm thrilled that this bass stayed in this country with one of our own. The buyer promised me that he would give the bass a great home.
 
 I'm with you Patrick - I wish that these parasites would go away forever.
