Some scammer has posted Fred Marzan's (Sander) copper tuba again.

Yeah... I reported it, too! I don't think these boneheads in Nigeria or Ethiopia realize what a small bunch of folks the tuba community really is!

I probably report a half-dozen fraudulent listings a week.

The last attempt at listing was a "private" sale. I bid $10.00 just to waste the scammer's time. The sale had been yanked the next time I checked it, with no notice to me from eBay - scandalous.

Boy are you in the right place.

Well.... I have sixteen hours of gig time between 6pm Friday and 4pm on Sunday! I do this to myself every year at about this time. Now.... THAT's stupid!
