I found an ad on my local Craigslist for a 1968 Emmons D10 8+4. The asking price was $700. Ha ha, I know, I know...but you never know, right? Could be a disgruntled ex-wife, clueless grandson trying to get rid of inherited "junk"
So I contacted him about it, just to see what the outcome would be. Our correspondence is below:
My response:Hello ,
Thank you for your interest in my Emmons Pedal Steel Guitar D10 8+4 1968. The asking price is $700 . The unit is exactly as described in my advertisement. If you want to buy it, I will have to deliver it to you from my store in New York . Shipping and all delivery taxes ( including insurence ) are included in the price. Also you will receive a 30 days Money Back Guarantee.
If you want more photos with it or any other details, please feel free to contact me .
Thank You,

Andres,
Sounds great. Can you send me the guitar for a test drive? If I like it, I'll
send you the money. If not, I'll send it back and pay for shipping both ways.
Thanks,

His latest response to me, try having a look at his link...
The "Fedex" link is what made me wanna post this here. Pretty scary, I hope no one has been scammed by this guy. I could tell right off there was something fishy about the page, shady looking text, spelling errors, etc...and the payment method (mentioned nowhere on the real Fedex site) is a dead giveaway.Hello,
For the transaction I suggest we use Fedex COD so we can be both protected. Here is the link :

If you accept to do it like mentioned on the FedEx Website ( the link above ), please email me your name and complete address and I will get the guitar to a FedEx office in a couple of hours.
Thanks,
Miguel
Oh well, I knew it was too good to be true!
