You Know What They Say: When It’s Too Good To Be True…

Last night I was looking at eBay, & I came across something that sent my BS detection meter well over the redline…

A seller from China, with a previous feedback rating of 0, is selling a Selmer, low A Mark VI alto saxophone, with no reserve. There is no description of the horn, no mention of it being a low A alto, no serial number, and only 1 photo, that, looks suspiciously like it might have come from a dealer’s site somewhere.

There is currently 1 bid on the horn of $1950.00, from a buyer who also has 0 feedback. Ya… Right….

BTW, if anyone bites on this, I’ve got some great swampland in Florida I’d like to show you…

Well if nothing else, it’s a great photo of a Selmer, Mark VI Low A alto saxophone. I wonder who took it?

…this is just my blog. My “real” website is www.bassic-sax.info. If you’re looking for sax info, you should check it out too.There’s lots there!

  1. Update: The auction has been cancelled. Anyone here really surprised? If you were, call me about that swamp land in Florida. I’ll even throw in some ‘gators. 😆

    Jim, I was wondering abut the Kessler connection too. The only reason I doubted it might be a Kessler photo, was that their pics are of much better quality. I’ve never seen a fuzzy picture that they’ve taken.
