"cryptocurrency ok"

Hmm, possible scam

[gocsick]

Definitely a scam.. Photos were lifted from a UK Facebook ad from 6 months ago. Original price was £8500.

“in fabulous nick”

Definitely a Britishism…

Ad says it was posted a month ago - Milwaukee is a good sized town - Madison just a little over an hour west and Chicago an hour and a half south with Lake Forest around 50 minutes south. Lots of tuba players in the area and well heeled ones at that - no way that thing in that shape at that price sits for a month at more than 50% off it’s quick sell market price with over 10 million people in the greater area and lots of Universities with excellent music schools etc. Add in the crypto bit and this ad definitely screams scammer. But if you live in Milwaukee & it’s a 15 minute trip -worth at least seeing if it is real. Sometimes people do really need to raise money fast or it’s an estate sale thing - but even if that was the case here -logic says this would have sold well before a month went by.

Then I said would come to Milwaukee and got this

Hi Mat,
I completely understand that but it’s already packed well ready to ship because I’m not available for in-person pickup.
You don’t need to pay extra fees to price including shipping. If that's okay with you send me your full address including your PayPal email for the invoice.

100% a scam.

[Matthew Gaunt]

agreed. reported it

[prodigal]

Same line as the 188 in DC last year.

[bloke]

But it's such a great price, that even if it's a scam it's a bargain, yes?

[prodigal]

It just made it's way to Philly CL. It sure gets around!
