    Default Gilchrist scam on Omaha CL

    Steer clear of this, folks. Gilchrist model 5 selling for $1375, and the seller himself (herself?) links to a Philadelphia shop selling the same mandolin for $22k? Riiiight. Pretty easy to tell this one is a scam, but I figured I'd throw it up on the Cafe just in case it spreads to other CL sites. Photos attached in case the link goes dead.

    Photos are not of a Gilchrist. That's a Bruce Wei or Antonio Tsai inlaid mandolin.

    I am tempted to email the seller and ask him/her to fly out to Vegas, and meet me at the Ceasar Palace, and I'll give him his asking price plus pay for his flight and hotel stay.

    He'll gladly do it if you wire him the money in advance.

    Looks like no Gilchrist I've ever owned or seen. What is he thinking?

    yea, but a free set of strings! Always a dealbreaker in my books.
