Title: Beautiful Rogue 5 deal
Post by: gearhed289 on July 12, 2022, 11:57:21 AM: Did anyone here snag this one? It didn't come up in my alerts for some reason. While my dream is a 32'' 5er, I'm pretty close to just going for a 34'' and might have grabbed this one had I seen it in time.

There are two different Japanese sellers offering it. Proceed with caution.

Post by: gearhed289 on July 13, 2022, 09:09:33 AM: It seems the Reverb seller's account may have been hacked. I thought $3000 and $20 shipping seemed phishy.

Post by: StephenR on July 13, 2022, 05:41:33 PM: Reverb absolutely sucks. Hard to believe this is the second time in a week they let someone get scammed for the same instrument via a hacked account. After it "sold' the first time for $3,000 it showed as sold using the "show only sold" listings filter. A couple of days after that the filter no longer showed it as sold but if you had the original link you could still see the old listing. This time the account that was hacked is German, the bass seems to be in Japan and selling for about $11,000 depending on which Japanese vendors site you check.

Shame though, we all want a bass like that!
