Possible Musical Box Auction Scam
By Alan Fox
Mike Moran is correct with his suspicion of the current upright Regina
eBay listing as being a scam. I have been in contact with several
people who remember viewing the original (legitimate) ad posted by
a prominent music box dealer and now a scammer has copied that dealer's
original text and pictures as representing his own machine for sale.
I believe those of us who have been active in eBay auctions are extra
cautious when we see high value items offered out of the country, at
ridiculously low prices, by new sellers with zero feedback and who only
accept cashiers checks, money orders or Western Union transfers. Ask
lots of questions and request more photos or a telephone audition of
the item up for auction. Know your seller!
