    What do you think of this ad? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....&ih=016

    There's only one small photo on the ad, and the photo looks familiar. I wrote to the seller to ask for more, but there was no response. The seller has not sold anything since April, and I don't know what was sold back then. So I'm rather nervous about this one.

    If you are the seller, please respond. Or if you have any other info, please respond.

    There does seem to be some Nigerian spelling influence.

    He hasn't sold anything since '05 if that matters. The mando looks nice but I'd like to see more pictures.

    I should really be practicing instead of sitting in front of the computer.

    The instrument is real and belongs to a Cafe member. The ad is fake.

    I would be most inclined to believe on that as being much true.

    They've used this mando in a scam before haven't they?
