Seems suspicious to me. E-bay says the seller is based in Germany but will only hand deliver to someone in the UK. Also the repeated insistence on cash seem like it might be a robbery setup. Here is an earlier posting of the same bass that was cancelled. Keith | ||

The way I read it he's saying he will ship in Europe and to the US, but will only hand-deliver to the UK. He doesn't like PayPal, and he's been on eBay since 2001, and pretty active. The pricing in GBP is a little odd, but he probably expects to sell this to someone in the UK. | ||

Yes he has been active and all of the previous sales are written in German and list the location as Germany. This was as recent a few days ago. This listing is in what looks like translator program English and shows no location. With the amount of cash involved I would be careful. If I were to meet them I see about making the trade someplace like a police station. If I were having the bass shipped maybe use an escrow service or an intermediary that holds the bass and payment until both are received. Keith |
