All the real owner would need to do would be post a picture of him holding the Conqueror and current newspaper... but now that I think about it, that could probably be faked with enough skill.  This really does suck for him.  I can't abide thieves.  No matter what you think about the Saudi Arabian government, you gotta admit they've got THAT particular problem well in hand.

Charles, your idea IS good. If you watched out for the most recent fraudulent Alembic sales offers, you may have noticed, that professional pictures were used (taken off some website), that descriptions were copied (more or less professional :-)), and that prices often were ridiculously low sometimes.
 
I actually wanted to email the seller today to have him present the RC with today's newspaper on one photo. Instead, I informed ebay, and it seems that my drop filled the barrel...

I also emailed the seller. I asked for a serial number.  
He didn't give it to me and said the serial nr. is on the back of the instrument. He also said the bass was already at the shipping company but we could still make a deal. This was after the item was taken of Ebay.

This is the contact I had with the seller.
But if I  understand you guys correctly this guy is not the owner of this bass?!

I was woried because of a bider(non paying bidder) .First I stoped the biding auction.I stoped the auction on ebay because I was asulted by intrested people.The guitar is still availeable.The first one who pays for it will have the bass before christmas. can't send you pistures of the serial number because the guitar is allready at the shipping company waiting to go at the buyer.But if you are ready to pay the buyit noe price I will ship it to you .You will pay for your item after I'll give you the tracking number so you can be sure an verify on the web site of the shipping company all the details that you are intrested of.
So if you want the guitar send me your details so I can start shipping.
Thanks and GOD bless you!

Hi, Marc,
 
the Roman Conqueror is up on ebay almost every other week. The legit owner will NEVER sell it, or would contact the club first. Every auction you will see on ebay or other sales platforms are fraudulent, fakes, robbery, illegal or whatever you will call it. Never send a dime to anybody who offers this !

Okay, thanks Cristian.
