Real or dodgy Ibanez Jem?

jonnyburgo

Very cheap at £300 for a Japan floral Jem, i realy have no desire for it but just wondered if its glaringly obvious.
What do you reckon, the sales pitch is a little bit wobbly.

Looks real as far as I can see in those poor-quality pics, but at that price it’s either stolen or he’s just stolen the pics from somewhere.

In the unlikely event that it’s straight, buy it now!

Also spotted this - should the serial numbers on the headstock and neck plate not match?

No punctuation. Ho, hum.

The emphasis on "inspect carefully before you leave" suggests that the vendor wants no comebacks if/when any deception is eventually uncovered.

After checking the serial number out, it appears to be a legit 2003 model. 

If that's not stolen that is a huge bargain.

He is also advertising a £275 Flute but says he doesn"t play & an £80 drum pedal that he says he is not sure what it is for ?
Maybe he just buys musical instruments for the hell of it

No shit... and I was thinking you'd buy it for £300 and I could double your money for you.

That would still be a grand less than the price the last one I saw sold for.
