Sanders Cobber again?

Post by Søren »

Is there something wrong here? It looks like the one for sale a couple of weeks ago.

At the expectation that Sean will pull an ebay scam thread, it makes me wary of ebay when they refer to an ad placed by someone trying to cheat the buyer as a "spoof." This is no spoof, it is an attempt to rip someone off.

I don't do that much ebaying but I have had three "spoof" winning bids and barely escaped being ripped off each time.

I got snagged by a buyer who was able to fake a Paypal payment. This guy was good; he could make a good honest living it he tried.

It's a scam. If you want to see the true owner of that horn, go here:

It's not Dan's. Click on the link and you'll find out who owns it a a little bit about his band.

I like the copper look. Wouldn't mind having the inside of my bell plated that way. Or maybe the outside guards and wires with the rest brass.
