Was it my Spalted Maple again? fc_spoiler Intermediate Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 174 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 25, 2006 - 7:20 am:    Sure looked like it, should have saved it...sorry olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 594 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 25, 2006 - 7:30 am:    It's really ironic. This bass had been used in scam auctions before I bought it. Thats why I bought it directly from GC and not their eBay add. As it turns out it's my favorite to play, even over my S-2 bass. Probably because it's a 4 and I played 4 strings bass for over 20 years before I got my first 5 or 6. Ans the 3/4 body medium scale really fits me well. bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1256 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, July 25, 2006 - 7:30 am:    Yep. Complete with the original GC information table. fc_spoiler Intermediate Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 175 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Tuesday, July 25, 2006 - 7:32 am:    Could it be somewhere in my/our windows folder? I've looked in the TEMP folders but they were empty... fc_spoiler Advanced Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 224 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, August 04, 2006 - 10:31 am:    Here it is again?

Makes it a little easier and faster than finding the report page from scratch. fc_spoiler Advanced Member Username: fc_spoiler Post Number: 225 Registered: 5-2006 Posted on Friday, August 04, 2006 - 12:20 pm:    I think it showed up today (I check E-bay everyday)... I'm not sure if it is Olie's bass though... The sellers Feedback goes back to Mar 10 '05 so there's much at stake there...

This indicates that the account is probably hijacked and that the listing is indeed a fraud. And I'm pretty sure those are the original pictures from the original listing. The fact that it's a one day listing is also a pretty good indcation that it's a fraud. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 602 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Saturday, August 12, 2006 - 4:33 pm:    It's mine guys. I would have posted sooner but I just got back from the Sturgis Rally. This guy just won't quit. Sure wish there was a way to set up a sting and get him busted.
