1st gen Hang on eBay SCAM!

Postby PanDave » Tue Sep 01, 2015 9:57 pm

hi,

found that one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-PANArt ... 1852968919

the location: Boca Raton, Florida, United States

reverse image search got me to the folloing link:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/First-gen-PANAr ... 1717764695

...i already sent an email pretending that I'm interested in buying it directly outside of ebay. got an answer in minutes:

"I have this instrument from my ex-husband and I never play with it. I am not a musician and I want to sell it. You can buy the hang from me for 1800 Euros with S&H ( shipping and handling ) included. I can insure you that it is in excellent condition and is tuning by F Ionian. Anyway you will have 14 days to inspect and test the instrument with money back guarantee(if you don't like it you can send it back and get your money back). I am currently in Europe,Bucharest ( this is the reason that the price is in Euro ) , i opened a store here and I can ship with UPS (air service) and in 2-3 working days this item will be in your home. If you are interested and ready to buy please confirm your full name and shipping address so i can forward it to eBay for your invoice .
Let me know ."

...seems that the person didn't know that I live in europe too so i said i want to pick it up in bucharest... waiting for an answer now :D

seller answered that the hang is shipped from the US. Asked him if a friend could pick it up or if i can pay via trusted services... the person answered that it will only sold via ebay now :D

I reported the auction on eBay and they already deleted it :)
