What's wrong with that? Sure looks like a Gretsch to me!

Ebay needs to put an end to this garbage before it's reputation goes down the toilet.

In eBay's defense, I've noticed this same listing dozens of times over the past few weeks, but none ever seem to reach their expiration dates before they are yanked. Obviously, it keeps coming back, probably as a new listed account, but you can imagine what it must take to monitor the millions of items listed each day. Certainly we, the cognoscente, aren't fooled. I mean, how many blue Ricks could their be in China? So we know it's a fraud, and reports in to eBay seem to nip them in the bud. Of course, the buds keep popping up.

Isn't "zhongghuo" what the worms were saying in Men In Black?

Did you notice that about 60% of the new listings today under the Ilan's "Rickenbacker Bass" search were Chinese with zero feedback?

I mailed the "seller" earlier and asked whereabouts in Ireland zhongghuo actually was. Guess what? He never replied!

...not to mention 40% are the same blue '78...

I got a reply...

And here they come again. Now there's two. Just wait . . . .
