Tele says item in Edinburgh, then the seller is listed as USA. 

Its obviously a SCAM. You can't bid, everything available by a BIN price via message!! LOL

So funny, surely it won't be long till they all get pulled. Someone has taken some time there listing them. Items all in different locations, I recognise some of the guitars from the past. You know what though, people will get conned. I once had my Autotrader ads hacked when I was a car dealer. They changed all my lisitings to make the cars a quarter of the price then put a link to pay £1000 securing deposits,fake tel numbers the whole deal. The powers that be wouldn't tell me how many people placed deposits but it was into three figures. I was still getting phone calls from those who googled my real contact details desperate to buy several days later. We logged over 700 of these calls. A fool and his money....

I've just bought his nice 58 Rickenbacker for £785.
We'll see if it arrives safe and sound.
NGD to follow shortly.

Can’t believe someone would stoop so low as to sully the good name of Bargainsmartz like that. 

Strat54

Funny how a few thousand of the listings have ended but some remain. 

Sassafras

They've all been taken down.
I'm now slightly concerned that my '58 Rickenbacker might not arrive.

Strat54

They are all back on again this time with a new hijacked account!

Be patient. The seller is away until the 19th February.

Strat54

Ah damn....they pulled them again, only a couple of hundred on there. The fraudster seems to like a Sunday afternoon for his scams. Still no sign of my refin '52 Tele either from last week.......

Is this the same guy who remembers his grandfather playing them all, or some similar load of old wank?  Or a different chiseller?

No different scam. that guy is still on ebay Uk with the Tele and a load of old computer junk for sale again with yet another username.

I remember my old Grandfather being an Edinburgh-based guitar thief who moved to America.
