Possible eBay fraud

FYI - there is a Gatraut flute for sale on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPERB-ANTIQUE-WOOD-FLUTE-BY-GAUTROT_W0QQitemZ260058943831QQihZ016QQcategoryZ10183QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

This description and the pictures are right off the page of the Wichita Band Company. They seem to have a constant supply of antique French flutes.

Maybe the sale is legit since Wichita BC did sell the flute last December, but I just wanted people to check things out carefully.

The seller has no feedbacks and is in Indonesia.. Hmmmm… :astonished:

These sort of e-bay lisitngs appear almost daily for old anglo concertinas. Folks put them on concertina.net. Usually they’re ripping off a legitimate sale that happened in the past six months. It’s a small enough community that either the legitimate buyer of seller posts to verify that it’s bogus. They also report them and e-bay pulls them. They are almost always scams. BEWARE
