I am sorry to have to say but I feel this is a scam!!!
I have reported this to **** - I asked the seller for pictures and when they were sent I realised I had seen the exact same pictures before on a previous listing!!!
I could be wrong but a JS10th in this condition at this price with a private auction is too dodgy.
I hope you have not parted with any money yet - but if it is genuine then you have got one hell of a guitar!!!

To submit the payment with*MoneyGram Money Transfer :

*Pay for the transfer with cash at a local*MoneyGram agent. Click here to locate the agents in your area http://www.moneygram.com/servlet/De...eb.xsl&URL=/Apps/AgentLocator/AgentSearch.jsp. Go to one of them and send the payment to the verified name of the seller, available in USA.

Therefore, no one else but your seller can pick up the money. Your payments cannot be lost in the mail, like money orders or checks.

However, MoneyGram Money Transfer is designed mainly for sending cash to friends and family in need, so telling them you are sending the money to an **** seller will prevent your money transfer to go through and you will be unable to complete this transaction.

• Once the payment was sent, email the seller the following information:

1.*8 digit Reference*#*(Transfer Number):
2. Exact sender's name on file with MoneyGram:
3. Your street address on file with MoneyGram:
4. City and country where you sent the money from:
5. Amount sent:
*

Then wait for the confirmation the payment was received. Within 3 business days, you will receive the tracking number for your merchandise.

Sorry but still think this is a definate scam!!!!

I have been sent many supposed emails from **** but they have been scams!!

This seller had zero feedback. We have a saying in the UK if it smells like **it, looks like **it, then it probably is **it!!!!

Ask yourself a mint condition Chromeboy for £1016 - don't think so my friend.

i agree with you, that why i ask here, i send the copy of the mail at thje security center of **** to confirm or not if they sent this.

The best way could be if the real owner of the #129 talk to me!

I think this is the best policy. I am sure **** will confirm the email you have received is not genuine. I can't remember but I think the pictures of this guitar have been used in a previous **** scam. These people really are scum!!!. Rich at Ibanez Rules has a really good section on **** scams. I suggest anyone who is thinking of buying from **** look this up. I know **** gets a bad press but I have bought many items from **** and have never been stitched up although I have come close!!!!

Yea, my daughter in laws father was looking at a Harley from Italy. Supposedly got one of these letters from **** verifying the seller was in good standing and he should complete the purchase [off **** LOL]. Yea right, the letters were forged crap from real **** notices. It's so easy to do. Take any **** notice, forward it, now retype in any field exactly what you want to say. Instant **** notice. ;)
