Well, Joe... a quick search for "professional tuba" turned up several items presented by three sellers.... NONE of which are professional-quality horns.

"Professional" is just an over-used and wrongly-used term that no one should pay much attention to.

Oh... I didn't see THOSE listings. All I searched for was "professional tubas". None of the listings were REAL professional tubas.

Somehow they seem quite adept at finding the passwords to legitimate accounts, with lots of well-earned good feedback.

I don't get it. Obviously, when you see "Contact me at this email address before bidding" you know it's a scam, and the iPolice are going to be staking out the account, so they can never ACTUALLY check it. What's the point? :shock:
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
