That’s clearly a scam.

Extremely low price, nothing else listed on Wendy’s shop site, just joined Reverb this year. I’d stay away from this one unless residing in Seattle and able to play it in person.

I wonder if they are hacked accounts, or accounts that are set up expressly for the play? I don't have much of a criminal mind, so I don't know how it would work. Obviously, I bet there is no physical Alembic to buy, so you PayPal the fake 'Reverb Shop' money, and they obviously can't send you what they don't have... so howzit go? They send you a greeting card congratulating you on getting dorked out of $5K? You file a fraud case with PayPal and fight it out? That MK bass is listed as "Sold", not "No Longer Available". So somebody is probably about to be having a bad day.


Looks like Reverb would have some interest in putting the kibosh on this kind of thing. It's got to be costing them credibility. I guess it's so rampant now they can't police it all.

And if you click on Margaret's Gear Locker, you get a message "Account Disabled" (to which as a professional who works with people with disabilities, I take exception).


However, I do have to say that where ever they are getting their photos from, the person does a really nice job.
