Ebay Rhodes Piano Bass scam?

[Alan Lenhoff]

If you were the "lucky" winner of this piano bass on eBay, you might want to be careful before sending any payment:

The photos are from an auction that was completed roughly 18 months ago by a backline company  located near me. Twice since then, I've seen their photos and descriptions used in cheap Buy-it-Now eBay auctions from non-US sellers with zero feedback.

(In this one, the seller is from Mexico. The eBay site now shows the item location as United States, but my mobile eBay app shows the location as Allen Park, Michigan -- which is where that backline company is based.  Maybe an earlier version of the listing? Maybe the "seller" had second thoughts about copying the entire completed listing.)

I've had great eBay experiences.  But always best to be cautious...

I have webspace with lots of pics of my gear.  Every pic has my URL overlay on the image for this very reason.  P!##3Z me off.
