And that con artist adds he 'burrowed' a camera...

Well, in a very convoluted way, almost like the MSM on their Bush hunts, he did "borrow" the camera, as the picture was from the camera...

Don’t laugh at me..

But the Ebay rating (40) is not bad, is it possible that the guy has one and perhaps he is a little lazy or stupid (or both)?????

He's selling bootleg videos and all of a sudden has a $5000 bass that he's too lazy to show pictures of?

I offered to pick it up with cash and he only wants to do business through the mail?

He might have 40 feedbacks, but how many of them are negative? That is totally one of Mike Parks' pictures.

I just sent him an email also.
I said, Hmmm bootleg video's and now this.
I sugested he stop the auction or be reported to EBay. Let's see how long it takes.
Buy it before someone else does.

40 feedbacks with 100% positive is good but he also has 4 recent negs. I would stay away from this clown.

You guys are awesome! I think it's so cool how you catch this stuff - even though it's unfortunate that it's necessary...
