Serial number & other details in this ad (http://newyork.craigslist.org/jsy/msg/953368050.html) are copped from Mandolin Archive, even though it is obviously a different mandolin. The scammer very thoughtfully included a link to the same Archive listing that he raided for his ad copy! :))

The scammer responds to e-mail by asking for my eBay ID and saying eBay will send me an invoice. eBay doesn't do that.

I don't recognize these photos. Other than the super-distressed one that just went for $2500 on eBay, I can't find a photo of a snakehead A4 without a pickguard.

And now it seems to be back up. Weird. Here are the photos. Anyone recognize this instrument?
