Dear customer, I noticed that you have a bid on the item (Mitsuru Tamura 10 String Classical Guitar (Item # 3705371093) ) and I would like to make you an offer. I could offer you the same unit to buy now without the auction for 700 $ ! Shipping is made using UNITED POSTAL/PARCEL SERVICE(UPS) SERVICE. If we will have a deal I will pay the shipping fee and the insurence for the package. Please check my feedback to see that I am a legit seller. I are looking forward to hear from you. Thank you in advance for your time, Kind Regards!

Does it sound like a scam to you?

Did you even check his feedback?

If you are in doubt with that one, I've got a shiny new golden-gate bridge I'd like to sell you.....

Cool. Thanks, I'm still learning here guys. He does have good feedback though. 468 with 99.8% postive. That's why I was wondering what's going on. He didn't seem to fit the common scam profile, except for that weird email.

You must be learning cause I have no how you came up with that. This is the account you checked?! muistolaba

Every time you place a bid on a keyboard/synth on **** you get one of those. A week or two ago I put a bid on two synths in one auction, and got the same "I have the exact same item I can send you"...

Ok. I understand now. I didn't read that email close enough I guess, because I was under the impression it was from the seller. It is indeed not. Thanks anyways.
