81 series 1 koa on ebay

Just checked the eBay auction. There's a big quote from Ed Roman's site, but they do mention the name.
 
So perhaps not fishy - at least not because of the quote.

Hey Guys
 
Not sure how legit this guy is but he seems to be willing to say anything or do anything. This bass was orignally on Craigslist for $2700. I tried to contact him with no response then by chance he saw a picture of my Koa Series I and contacted me by trying to feel me out on a sales price. He stated, Rory  if you have to sell it what will the Koa go for ??      or should I ask if you don't mind How much are you paid for it. ??         I am looking for use one not sure how much the go for..         please share your thought       so I know what price to be paid if I ever found one.... At this point he did not realize I knew who he was and I knew he already owned one supposedly. Also not sure why he did not admit he owned a Series bass and was trying to sell it and what was a good selling price!  
There seems to be different thoughts of what is good and what is not in his ad as well. He states in his ad, This gave them some advantages tonally. Plus it allowed some cool options like LED's (light emitting diodes) for position markers. He answers someones question with,No leds, it was an option that came later, they light up the side position makers on the fretboard and usually fail after a few years of use. bad idea if you ask me, it puts wiring inside your neck,and a extra stain on your power supply.more of a gimmick than anything else. Again, I won't say he doesn't have the bass but I think he is willing to say or do anything to sell it. Good luck, buying a Postal Money order and getting it to him in three days if you are the lucky winner!

What's the chance of getting him to disclose the serial number now that there's 3 days left and the bids at $2905????????

I got a reply from the seller. Response was I don't give out numbers, and he still refused to say what the serial number was, imagine that. I've emailed Steve ,(alembickoa) to see if he can shead light on this.

Did anyone e-mail Steve for info on this bass?  I did:
 
TK...
 
That is my old bass, and it is completely misrepresented by the buyer. I sold it here in Santa Cruz earlier this year. That bass is in great shape, but not as he says. Let the club know.
 
Regards...
Steve
 
Steve says it is there and his, but is being misrepresented.  That could mean circumstances and/or current condition.  I figured the auction was legitimate when I first saw it and almost popped the $2,800 BIN, but something held me back.  I knew the seller was talking crap, but that did not bother me much.  This is not the bass for me, so I passed on it.  I hope someone who it fits better gets it, and everything is good for him or her.

$4,150 - I should've popped that $2800 BIN as soon as I saw it.
