Bit odd black and white pic. Seller has 5 other basses listed, Gibson SG, Carvin 6 string,G&L JB-2, Peavey Foundation, and a MIA Fender jazz. The SG is the only listing with multiple color pics. Very strange.

this guy had been sending me low balls constantly when I had my Antigua PB for sale saying it was not worth much due to the recession...

I’m going to go out on kind of a screwball limb here;
Is it possible these pictures are for listings that aren’t his and he’s trying to make sales on them and then taking that money to make lowball offers to the actual sellers in an effort to turn a quick profit?
If you look at the sellers feedback history there are a few that say their items never shipped or took a very long time (one of which said they didn’t get a shipping number). At least one I saw said they had to contact EBay to get the issue resolved.

Those pictures are inexcusable, and yes, I don't believe he's in possession of these items. Also, if you look at his selling history, he has sold virtually no high priced ticket items, the majority of them being Blu Rays, DVDs, or books. The only high priced transactions I see are a negative regarding a car sale and 1 positive regarding a motorcycle sale. Lots of negatives scattered throughout his history for other items though.

I wouldn't go near this.

That's the picture of bhunt's old 6 string Carving.

Also this is that blueburst G&L JB-2 that was on CL for a while then popped up on Reverb then got sold:

They’ve added pictures to two of their other listings now too.

So maybe I’m a little skeptical and a tad bit paranoid... Ha ;)
