Zum scam on eBay
eBay currently has a zum on For 3,000.00 it is a great picture with a newer looking zum and a story of a sick father. but there is no bidding or buy now if you look at the pictures one of them has the email of a pawn shop to buy the guitar with a caption that all bids on eBay will be canceled
It does seem to be an interesting situation. The seller reportedly has 8700 + transactions with a 100% positive feedback. So, they know how to do business on eBay.
Cancelling bids, in lieu of a "Buy It Now" price is just not how it is done. It says the seller is away, which again is not a very common situation for a good volume seller.
The company name for the eBay store is "Merlemond Vintage." Yet, communications are to be directed to "info@pawn-online.com."
Maybe an employee got access to the eBay store and is trying something, I dunno, just guessing. It is curious, though.

I don’t know what it looks like, I guess it is already removed , but if it’s red, white and blue , D10 ZUM , it is a scam .. Bruce made only 3 in that color combination, and one is S10... one D10 is owned by a collector in MD. and another D10 is somewhere in TX ... if you see new model ZUM D10 in red white and blue on eBay , it is a scam , report it

I looked at his other items for sale. Most all if them that are new listings (many) have a first bid of $5.30. And they ALL have a shipping cost of $35, from a big console organ to a wrist watch. This guy just has to be legit.Scott Denniston wrote:Hey the bid is only up to $5.30 for the custom Zum. How can you lose?
