WTF is WRONG With Me??

[stevieb]

Somebody posted to Atlanta Craigs list, selling a FENDER BASSMAN TEN, with this in the body:

Older Model
Relatively New Speakers (Paper cone)
2 sets of tubes included
Not original fabric design.

150.00 OBO

E-mail for picture.

Fool that I am, I FREAKING ASKED THEM TO SEND ME PICS instead of just telling them to call me ASAP and heading over as soon as they called. Someone else scooped it up, of course.

Ah well, could have been a fraud. Somebody that knew enough to go into details about cone construction and fabric generations didn't know they had misplaced the decimal point in the price? Unlikely.

Seriously...$150 for a Bassman? You know the old saying: if it sounds too good to be true...

You probably just avoided a scam.

That's my vote. There was a guy up here advertising an epi les paul for 50 bucks yesterday. And it was nice looking. I thought about calling, but I figured (a) it's stolen, (b) it's being sold out from under somebody by their pissed-off significant other, or (c) this guy's just going to try to rob me when I show up with 50 bucks. While I was mulling it over, the ad disappeared.
