Is it me or is this the 10th or greater time this same photo has shown up on ebay or craiglist only to be taken down within a day or two.

Hey I just bank wired this guy $2k... Is there something wrong with that??? No one lies on eBay lmao!  
What a joke! This auction is weak.

Looks like it's already been taken down. The lack of creativity among scammers today is amazing. Using the same photo again and again of a very rare bass...now if it was a pic of a Fender Jazz or Precision I would understand, but an Alembic Series bass.
 
I'd do feel sorry for the person who really does own that beautiful bass. If he/she ever decides to put it up on evilbay there will be a lot of folks out there who won;t even think of putting in a serious bid.

I read an interesting article about how scammers have started to dumb-down their pitch emails and ads.  
They've released if someone is dumb enough to reply to an obvious scam, then they are dumb enough to send money.

Exactly, it's not lack of creativity of the scammers but rather an abundance of silly folks OR first time Ebayers.

One has to give whoever this is at least some credit for being persistent/determined.
