Funniest eBay Frauds Yet!

[FrankenMouse]

My apologies. These ads are actually for guitars, not mandolins. But I think you'll forgive me when you see how funny they are:

Definitely a new low in English usage.

Dang, I can't understand a word that guy said. That's funny-I wonder how much luck he'll have finding a buyer with that kind of communication ability.

-John.

Hopefully he WON'T find a buyer!

These auctions will probably be cancelled before long. So I'll copy and paste the text of them here, for posterity:

First Auction:

Unusual Martin's GATT type. As for the eye which you saw the rag it is rather and is, but very it has become good. Hard case attaching. 64 year end. As for long saddle specification to this year. hard case attaching

Second Auction (my favourite):

The model of eighties beginnings which "hit and are called year". The condition not only good, elegance the suspension tin and the gorgeous bell appearance GOOD! Already, nearly 23 years it is passed, it is the sound where, but also the material of the body withered, made the sack and withers. The case and of course with the original black case, the condition satisfactory! Year passing, D-45 whose also arrival is very little. Originally in just the model where numbers of productions are few, is large chance!

Let's see: Seller with zero feedback, based in the far east (Singapore), payment by wire transfer only. #I think we've been down this road before.

I wonder if they are those rare Martins with the hidden 7th string.

Hey Guys ... It's time we have a little fun again with this guys. Let's see how low we can get them to go! Yeah lets do the seventh string thing to!

Lets start email them and give them the run around..hehe http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Heyyy, most elegant suspension tin on that seventh string! Not to mention the material of the body withered, made the sack and withers. Saw the rag!

Case attaching?? Large chance I think.

The seller replied to my question about the seventh string:

as long i know actually the famous of martin guitar is not seventh strings but its on the seventh fret, Martins sound and feel as great on the seventh fret, yes this is it, this is their talking about

I guess I'll have to learn a bunch of songs on the seventh fret! Anyway, I'm glad he showed me his seriously.

[Bill Snyder]
