Zero feedback seller, registered yesterday, decides to sell his Tuxedo. Hmmm....

If someone is local, they might have a bargain on their hands.

It's probably totally innocent... the guy's never done ebay before, I suppose. I've emailed him for phone numbers, etc anyway. I'll keep my eye on this one... nice bass!

I've also asked if he will do a BIN, as I live quite close to him I would collect it myself.

Let's hope it is as it appears. Someone could get lucky!

Over 2 days and no reply to a simple question that would make sure the deal was for real... hmmmm..... alarm bells

Definately a scam. He wants you Ebay name and e-mail address before you can bid. That's what "pre-approved" bidders means.

Check out my earlier thread about my old 87 ish Tuxedo 360 12..... with a white neck as well!

As I thought at the time it would change colour to cream maybe but not banana yellow yuck!

My old guitar is probably the same ...no regrets about selling now...!
