I thought this was too good to be true so I messaged the guy asking if he had made a mistake in the listing.

All I got back was a reply saying that it's still for sale if I want it, completely avoiding my question....

I was looking to get some celestion speakers off gumtree a while back, the guy was asking a really low price, but when i gave him a call, he said that was just to get people looking at the page!

In actual fact he wanted twice as much for them as he'd advertised.

It'll be a scam - guaranteed.  They use PRS gutars a lot on Gumtree.

Avoid like the plague.

Beware of getting mugged going to somewhere unknown with £400 in your pocket

I always buy from a reputable Chinese retailer like Chinabuye or tootoomart where you can cut out the middleman and buy directly from the child labourers or their gang-masters...  :? :lol: :lol:
