The Steel Guitar Forum

Someone asked me if this steel was mine and I replied no. Then checked it out and it is ripped off from an ebay sale going on now............https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/msg/ ... 08405.html

Looks like it must be posted in a variety of places. I saw it on Craigslist in Naperville, IL too.

There are 3 Sho Buds on Craigslist right now that were lifted from Ebay sales. One is in Memphis and another listed in Iowa.

Yep, I believe these are also scams -

The Memphis steel is also posted in Houston

I've seen this same guitar on ebay and Reverb for a while. Listed @ a ridiculous price along with a D10 Bud and some really high priced other gear.

The seller is listed as haightashburymusic and located in California. I'm guessing this is the legitimate owner.

There's a crook on every corner. This is especially bad for interested new players just wanting to get started on steel as they may not know about the instruments, prices etc.

Everybody, do your homework when buying anywhere away from here online, investigate the seller's activity background and even message them to see if they are a legitimate seller. If they are, they will be forthcoming with their information.

I've bought stuff in person from Haight Ashbury Music in San Francisco. They are good people. They are probably fake accounts.

Found this when I Googled Haight Ashbury Music (Dated 8/6/19 on SF Gate):

Nearly 40 years since opening, the historic Haight Ashbury Music Center is closing its doors.

Weird things going on with pedal steel scams on craigslist lately. I've seen one posted in Los Angeles and two in SF in the past few days. More convincing scams than I've usually seen
