Cheap HX Stomp XL on Reverb - too good to be true?

LionAquaLooper

Saw this live on Reverb earlier today.  £96 + £6 P&P (from Stockholm) for an HX Stomp XL.

I hesitated because it's too good to be true.  Seller had no feedback.  Checked 5 mins later and it's gone. 

Not that I even needed this unit but that's a huge bargain!  Either someone bought it or the seller pulled it.  Could this possibly have been a scam?  I'm just thinking how it could have been because a buyer could easily report it to Reverb if things went sideways and get their money back.

Scam or pricing error I'd say. 

Why would anyone sell one for so little?

Silly price? Check.
Copy-paste description? Check.
No other items for sale? Check.

No it is not a bargain. It is a scam. The pictures came from a listing on US Ebay and sold in October.

Wow, well spotted.  I take it you did a reverse image search to find that?  Must try that next time.
Still struggling to understand how this scammer could get away with it on Reverb though.  Reverb would've held the funds until the sale is completed and buyer is satisfied.  Or push comes to shove Reverb would claw back the money if it's reached the selller already.

Yes, reverse image search and then some tracking down.

Getting increasingly worrying there seems to be more and more scammers targetting the used music market.
