I do think that's key that if multiple people complain they respond. I still have no idea why these people keep regurgitating the same ebay listing when it would be so simple to generate new ones. I suppose it speaks to their capabilities (or lack thereof).

I wrote "truly fraudulent". Talk about an oxymoron.

Yeah, kind of like driving on a parkway and parking on a driveway.

The Fraudulent L5 NAMM Special with Serial Number 20023002 is back on ebay: Gibson L5 CES One of a kind NAMM show piece | eBay

I missed it totally in my trawl. I hope I am not too late in warning someone off it.

There are 19 bids right now. It looks like you can post a question. I don't have an ebay account so I can't see for sure.

Ebay is a digital "customer service" company (they allege, anyway). They have no forklifts, delivery trucks, container ships, lathes, milling machines, etc, etc. They have an electric bill. And a doughnut bill for their staff meetings, ie a tiny overhead to cashflow ratio. They should certainly hire more "customer service" staff, but they're afraid one of them might have two minutes in a row of free time every other week or two. The million-dollar consultant told them that was bad.

The keyboardists (qwerty's, not ivories) who call themselves running "customer service", well, let's just say their feet don't reach the pedals. No maturity and in-breddedly low expectations for properly efficient service of any sort.

ebay is doing diddly about it. 30 mins to go and it is up to $5655.00 now. Someone is going to have a serious heartbreak.

The message I got was that the listing had been removed. Did eBay step in or did the guy really get hosed?
