gjones Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass Black S-1 Switch, Hard Case £300. I sent a messgae to him to say he's selling it too cheaply and to sell it on basschat instead at a decent price but no answer yet.

gjones Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 He's either desperate for cash or it's a scam. Nobody sells a £600/700 bass for £300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's been long since you've emailed, I've been out so couldn't follow up on my text message. Can't promise anything but visiting my mum shortly, wouldn't mind making a drop off If you'll send me your postcode I can check out on my satnav the distance to yours. Reasonable price and accurate description, it's worth the money, no bad surprises. I won't go any lower. Can be reached on (079) 7342-5052 low signal strength area but check emails regularly. Ta, Helen. P.S. Will take cash only. [/color] I'm a cynical 845tard normally but this seems genuine...after all she's offering to drop it off and she's not asking for my bank/paypal details..

Bassmonkey Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I got exactly the same email followed by one saying she was busy with work but could courier it free. I didn't respond. The next one is where the pay scam happens. Scum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
