Been had?


This was featured in the local papers last week. A website claiming to be selling guitars for 90% off the list price.


Seller claimed guitars were released for sale at cost prices due to export complications & salvage appropriation. 


Sale was further promoted by social media postings. We need to be cautious when dealing with such too-good-to-be-true deals. At the very least, engage in preliminary correspondence with the seller & do not commit to buy immediately. Yes, we should put a good deal of trust on accommodating online sellers but we also need to protect ourselves from commercial complications should there be legal repercussions. if you're willing to go down for this kind of deal, what does that show about you?

SCAM alert


If you are dealing in the after-market, please be wary of the above-mentioned character.


I received an e-mail from him recently proving his activity to date; he's been known to be trawling cyberspace for victims since June this year & observed an e-mail address permutation. FYI & stay safe.
