Location: Townsville, Australia | Another super cheap Adamas from a new seller in China.
Solid body going by the photo, and apparently scratches on the wing tip of this one!
And despite no history with eBay there are positive feedback examples
How does the man do it! |

This, I believe, is another scam and he has a photo of an electric solid body guitar down the bottom. |

Glad ebay got this one before someone got hurt. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Looks like the guy was practicing for future rip-offs. Don't worry, he'll learn and someone will get dinged.
The funny thing is, I thought he had cooked up the phraselogy, like "Beauty will set your fingers on fire", and the classic "This your Big gun, hand made USA not oversea junk" and "this guitar is not for the faint of heart" (what does that mean?!) in fact, he ripped off this nonsense from the authentic person. Go figure. |

Location: CT | It is apparently the thing to do in China where you post a pic of someone elses item with a standard template with horrible grammar that doesn't actually describe the thing at all. This is an actual piece of one of those standard templates I pasted for your reading pleasure.
We are Chinese craftwork products dealer And it is very important for inv As you know, the Chinese has long history around the world. This item you can see was does very wonderful all by hand. estigating the old Chinese culture. If you win it you will get good lucky. It is very wonderful. It is in good condition, no crack and no chip. Look at the pictures you can see the shape is very well. If you are Chinese collector, please do not miss so better
Oh, by the way, this describes a Fender Elite Stratocaster. At one time, the original post was there with a pic, and no less than 8 other listings from China had the same pic, all at $1.98 or something with like 300.00 for shipping. I have also seen this template describing jewelry, artwork, etc. Here is the actual item.

They don't have to ship anything until they get your money, and after they get it, they still won't ship it, because they don't have the item in the first place. What's eBay going to do, they're in FREAKING CHINA FOR GOD'S SAKE. All eBay can do is yank them as sellers, and they'll just get a new account and do it again. Apparently this is easier than getting a job.
So, for a 3rd time, ..Don't buy anything from anyone in China ever. |

There are a number of items like this, and I have complained, and sellers who's add is ripped off. They say there is little they can/will do.
But it'[s a good scam if it works I guess. |
