He's not the scammer, but someone posts a very very similar Starfire almost day on eBay with text that says "Do not bid, cash price $2000, email me direct at ..... "
He's obviously stolen the picture from somewhere, Starfire in blue lined case with very similar angle, so I thought maybe this was the guitar he's using as bait.
Shame on eBay for letting this happen, over and over and over.
Bonfires has a bit of a reputation. He was interviewed in an article in the recent past, very cocky attitude about what he does, "monetizes his knowledge" says he, and then list something like Teisco pickup as vintage Guild, etc, etc.
I used to buy and sell some very nice vintage watches on eBay - watch out, here comes the veer - and I realized years ago - especially with something as risky as vintage Rolexe's - that it is not the item you are buying,
it is the seller, the person, and the trust you have in that person, without the trust, nothing.
