PSA SCAM Gretsch White Falcon in Cornwall on Gumtree

andy1839

Ok so I'm not as clued up on Gretsch fakes as I am on Gibson ones, but I can't see anything wrong with this, I've messaged him and he says the price is correct as long as it's gone by the 22nd.

To far for me (And too good to be true) but if it's can, dibs obvs!

Or if anyone is near there and wants to help me out

That’s a real Gretsch. £300 is stupidly cheap. They go for £1300-£1500

I've had my 6122 out comparing photos and it looks bang on  

I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!

It's a picture of a real Gretsch.

I wouldn't even consider buying it except in person though. Massively underpriced, new seller, remote location? I make it scam o'clock.

Yeah the flags are there, and different picture locations to his other instruments  

I haven't done an image search though.

Yeah, that's not a real sale. I see these pop up on Gumtree a lot lately.

Sporky

If it's real and you get it for £300 I will be suitably impressed!

interstellar

hes also "selling" a very nice Webber Mandola for the unreal price of £270 with hardcase, this for some reason is located a few miles away in Newlyn?

I don't want to be unkind to the good people of St Just but it does have more than a bit of a reputation. There are not many folk living there who could remotely afford a White Falcon.

Please tread VERY carefully. And as @gringopig says - don't go alone!!
