It's what you get when you are willing to bid for a 7,000+ dollar strat!

That's the scam I guess, cause $7,500 is actually way low, for what people pay for 54 strats.

Read the thread, follow the links. He just used images from a random webpage deconstructing a '54 Stratocaster in an auction.

Um, I wouldn't be so fast to judge. This stuff happens quite often after an ebay account phishing scam. Poor sucker types in his account and password into an "ebay" page that looks legit, scammer gets it, then um, scams people.
However I just noticed he takes paypal, so I don't see what the risk is really.

haha yeah, but surely if it's a real scam it will go down. Or he will just get deleted.

yea, I don't get how you would follow through on this scam. you would have to get the money, immediately transfer to your bank account and then immediately cash it and close the account. all while sending the buyer reassuring emails. but surely it would be traced to your account anyway and all kinds of people would be after you for fraud. I guess it could work if you had a bank account in mexico or something.
