The future is bright.
As much as it is important to encourage all those who are taking the hammer and try to learn one of the most difficult tasks in the world, I know find it is also important to discourage the worst ones, who repeatedly put instruments on sale without showing a bit of talent--gold diggers ripping people off.
el1sa83 is an Italian eBay seller who's been the channel or the maker of terrible instruments for quite a time now, so it's not a fast judgement. Once for all I wanted to put that eBay ID in a topic title for further reference, especially for newcomers and googlers. There's no reason why people should go on falling in these money traps!
Look around, collect info, ask questions, with a little bit of patience nowadays you can (almost) easily acquire a quality instrument.
