I hate the thought of some poor sucker getting taken with this one.

I emailed the 2 highest bidders and told them it is a fake ...

I just e-mailed the highest bidder and told him the same thing.

I think RIC is on summer vacation. The RIC police might not be watching.

2 other threads on this POS. Same conclusion...

Is there any authority on eBay we can send messages to?

JH usually handles these right away but I suspect they are on vacation this week.

So, how many people have emailed this bozo?

Complaining to ebay is a waste of time, there was a 68 Gold 4003 for sale there and I wrote to ebay and several other also did and they hemmed and hawed and it ran it's whole 7 days. The person who bought it also was warned and bought it anyway.

eBay doesn't give a rat's behind for anyone that has/is been scammed.

They pretend that that they're "investigating" but cannot comment due to 'legalities'.

What a crock of cr_p!

IMHO

"After further research, we have found that this is likely a 4002 modlel [sic] from Rickenbacker. The jack plate has been replaced and there is no serail [sic] number to reference."

Oh, man!

What we do on the Steinbergerworld forum is out-bid each other til the thing is at ASTRONOMICAL money, then not go ahead wit the sale ( obviously!)...Anyone up for it?
