I have even just had a reply from the seller in request to a video of the guitar - “I’m not a player”.

Amazingly it is still there even this morning. Obviously eBay doesn’t give a dam 😡

Given that his profile (100% rating from one transaction!) states his location as UK, despite the location of the ‘item’ being Spain, is this worth an email to Action Fraud, Chris?

This second guy has advertised other guitars in the past, and in earlier times was offering collection and try before purchase, so might actually be legit, but it does look like the same floor. He does have quite a mix of lower-priced items on offer too, and at least has some reasonable eBay history; appears to be a genuine UK seller.

I've brought from this seller (Richard) and he is legit. Hiscox artist case at a very good price. He had a different Sobell for sale a while back and was very welcome if i had wanted to go to try it before buying. Regards David

That's OK then, just a bit confusing as the Fay and Sobell look to be on the same surface (board width, colour, pegged), must be a coincidence.

Like i say, i could be wrong though David Chris may have bought the Fay from Richard because they're both Ralph Bown enthusiasts and know each other I think. Not sure though

Not sure though That would explain it perfectly Phil/David, I guess our guy took the picture of the Fay from Richard's listing. I was a bit concerned as I know Chris has a Sobell as well.
