To top things off it sounds like a scam anywhere...'Paypal isn't working here in Hungary so we make the deal with "bank transfer".
Uhmm...No Thanks!

Paypal isn't working...jack plug isn't working. I wonder what else isn't working? With no bids, the ad perhaps?
Interesting ebay id!

Well, it has a neck and, uh, 4 tuning pegs, and some knobs, and those little thingys for the strap, and I am pretty sure there are some wires only you can't see them in the picture. Rickenbackers have all of those things, right?

I think it only plays polkas. You can tell by the polka dots.
