Just as a warning, a Sam Ash closeout sale ad on Facebook claims $129 for everything, including Miraphone tubas and plastic trombones. Looks suspicious.

Yep. I see multiple posts, each with a different link. This is the only legit one https://www.samash.com/

I've reported the fake ads many times....Zuckerbook has always come back that the ads don't go against their advertising standards.

They continue to be an issue. A friend of mind almost fell for a great deal on a Courtois Alto. Unfortunately Facebook seems to have little interest taking down scams, as mentioned before.

You don’t really think that $3500.00 trombones are going out the for $129.00 do you?

Yep. Paypal saved me. Was thinking <EMOJI seq="1f914" tseq="1f914">🤔</EMOJI> great deals for the kids. I hit the payment button an instantly was regretting it. Opened up a 2 cases immediately with Paypal; got my money back 2 weeks later because seller wouldn't respond. Funny though, they still pretended to ship the items after I got my money back. Chinese scam.
