Hi

Just wanted to let you know about this incredibly good offer in the Netherlands:

<LINK_TEXT text="https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/muziek-en- ... b9c5b7a618">https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/muziek-en-instrumenten/blaasinstrumenten-trombones/m1345392763-trombone-mt-vernon-bach-stradivarius-50b-lage.html?c=9b26ed2a557deff636f4f8b9c5b7a618</LINK_TEXT>

Seller seems legit at the beginning, but then he tries to scam you with an "ebay protection program" scam. So beware!

Although, the pics of the horn he sends out look absolutely spectacular. I thought I would score the deal of the century... :-(

Actually, if you can read Dutch, you'll instantly know this is a scam.

It has 2 pipe hoses (lead pipes) and main and f alignment lifters (valves) and a weird user name and only 2 weeks on the site.

Combined with a to good to be true price, it is probably to good to be true ;)

Yep :-) my alarm bells rang from the beginning, but this is my holy grail of the bass trombone world. I had to try it :-)
