"Strange" Ebay listing

Post by Seamie »

Hi all.....
Listing on Ebay for a full set in B from Joe Kennedy. Lists a Hubbert bellows -which in fact a Dow. Beautiful looking set for $1000,
but doesn't look like a Kennedy (main stock stamped JEK 2006 Armagh)
The buy it now info reads like typical middle eastern or Asian prose, though the seller is listed in US. Just wondering

Indeed a scam. Photos and description copied from a previous legitimate sale of this set.

By the way, JK did live in Armagh for a year or so in around '06.

It's probably about time to have a sticky thread with pictures of these sets that come up (ie. the Crowley, the Kennedy...a few others..) as a semi-permanent warning rather than have these threads pop up every couple of days.

Yep...I'm always a bit skeptical of Ebay stuff. Turns out, the seller's accct. got hi-jacked and he told everyone not to bid.
I just hate to see anyone getting suckered in.
Mission accomplished. Thanks all
Cheers
