Any views on whether this is a scam? Couldn't locate the pictures on a google search. Pics not quite clear enough to read the label!

Hi Graham,

I think it is legit. I saw it advertised on FB Swap and Sale (only for Handpan), had a quick look again to make sure but it's not there anymore. Someone on there asked the same thing and one of the regulars vouched for it. Someone also made the comment that it sounded flat and out of tune. It's good that you are wary, I was nearly taken for a ride by a scam on Gumtree that was posted here for Adelaide.

Blessings
Jo

Thinl I've seen these pictures on FB too on Swap & Sale Handpan. If I'm not mistaken, the ad was removed because the seller (also in UK) would not disclose the price and Alessio (admin) had a new policy about that. But it does not necessarily mean it's legit, these could be stolen pictures.

If it's the ad I'm thinking of, seller is https://www.facebook.com/lyndonlallydavies?fref=ts

Thanks Broussel2. yes that was the name of the person. When I had a look and couldn't find the post I thought that must have happened. :-)

In this case I think it's better to contact him directly to see if the Gumtree ad is legit.
