This was just sold on the East Coast USA , NOW just a bit later is offered on the West Coast using the same listing language and pictures . The NEW LISTING; [new listing] The OLD LISTING: [old listing] I have sent two inquiries to the seller regarding this . There seem to be a propensity of " FIshyness" from past observances in the style of listing , But perhaps it is really legit in which case I will bid , but only if I can pick up in person. sonicus [edited the links] (Message edited by adriaan on May 30, 2014) |

Saw that last night. Extremely suspicious. The sellers user name doesn't match the winning bidder of the original auction, and they've got zero feedback. The $2.50 shipping is a bargain though. LOL! |

HI Brian , I have considered your Distillate for sure. Perhaps my obsession with "shipping angst" has been a drawback . That is my own problem that I am not in denial of. I have had so much merchandise damaged during shipping__. The one that I started this thread on is " theoretically " about a 3 or 4 hour drive for me. Alert to all Alembic Club friends : ___I have sent this seller 2 inquiries through the eBay system over 24 hours ago and I have not had any replies at all ___ nothing ! I do not think that I will bid under such circumstances. It could be ok , but then again not . Has anyone else been in contact? Any replies? Be Careful my friends ___ Caveat Emptor ! |

I saw this as well and made attempts to contact the seller. I ended up contacting the East Coast seller, and he told me those were his photos and text, but not his auction. Ebay was warned of this being a fraudulent auction, but no action was taken. It was a scam for sure. |

Another reason to buy from people on this topic board. Two alembic basses, an F-1X and a SF-2 as well as another bass in the works. Everything I have received has been as advertised and at a fair price. |
