Ollie...something about the auction picture reminds me of the pictures of your bass- did somebody swipe the pics?

20 hr auction anyone? =)

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.

Could it be somewhere in my/our windows folder? I've looked in the TEMP folders but they were empty...

Now if only I took advantage of the US$12M (twelve million) dollars inheritances in the ALL CAPS EMAILS I get every day from the backwater internet cafe of the week, I could afford lots of these second-chance offers.

I never noticed this before, but at the bottom of the page there is a link to Report This Item. Makes it a little easier and faster than finding the report page from scratch.

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...

FC; scroll down near the bottom of the listing to the text, "Please contact me before you bid at my business email address chrisanderson41@gmail.com for the Buy It Now price and the terms of sale,otherwise i will not concider your bid."

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.

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.
