anyone missing their miraphone?

[Dan Schultz]

Should be easy to check out. We have several board members in that area.

I asked him for shipment, and he stated that he wanred 9000$.

[MikeMason]

I wouldn't think there would be too many of that tuba in that case with that Frankfurt sticker.

[MooseMan]

I decided to inquire and this is what I got out of him/her...

hello, shipping is by the size and weight but can reach an agreement, I am in florida, the price of the tuba is 9000 dollars, if the interezado I can take personally if you're not far away, it's a tuba in C Microphone 5/4 model new yorker, thank you, happy night

[Tabor]

Wouldn't that serial number predate the model by 25 years or so? I am no expert, but the Mirafone I had was very early 1990s and had a SN higher than 15000.

[MooseMan]

If I had to take a swing at this...

My guess is that it's a real sale but knowing eBay, since he's a first time seller, he cannot sell more than $1000 a month. He wants to sell the tuba at $9000 but can't due to eBay restrictions so he placed it as an auction.

[TheGoyWonder]

Fit the profile of a typical stolen instrument, no???

[DavidB]

Unsurprising.

"...not quiz honor the sale..."

[DavidB]

Yeah, that feedback was written by someone with obviously limited language skills. I meant that it was unsurprising the seller refused to sell at the final price.

[bort]

No worries, I understood... and unfortunately, it's not surprising. People suck.
