I just sold this Bennett to a gentleman in Wales. It appeared on Ebay this morning (9/4) for sale at silly money
and free shipping. I phoned the present owner to make him aware. This a a SCAM big-time.

It is advertised twice, same price and from different locations !
Seller has zero feedback.
Thank goodness we have people watching out for this sort of con merchant.

I can see the two listings, and they have used, presumably, the same photos as yours. So they have listed the same item twice and stolen the photos, but what's the scam?
If I bought it what would happen?

They would get your money.

There is no guitar.

You would be covered under eBay Buyer guarantee.

eBay would refund you .

They would disappear.

eBay is out of pocket £470.

As far as I am aware.

One has disappeared and the other has been sold. With all due respects to the other posters, I just can't see how the scam would work. If it was that easy to rob eBay of nearly £500. They would be bankrupt by the end of the week?

A keyless SD10 Bennett is on at the moment for £1450, seller is "golw" username. I was going to ask if these are any good and if this is a reasonable price. I currently have an MCI Rangexpander D10, but it is very heavy and I dont need a C6th neck.
Are these the same pics as your sale was??
Guidance advised.

Hi Jivebiker,
They are not the same steels. The one Ted sold was light blonde (an absolute beauty), see photo below.
and the one for sale at present is Red. The Bennett steels are very well made and have a good reputation.
The price appears to be good, but I'm sure someone will chip in on this.

Here is the link to the one for sale at present.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234001867444 ... Swxdtgl85q

You could ask the location of the guitar and ask what the co-ped is. The e bay posting looks gen but without a location there is a wee bit of concern.Also ask for some pics of the undercarriage.

I'm the one selling the red Bennett on ebay, everything is genuine
