the really sad thing is all these paper tigers have found
posting tons of sucker items and leaving them up ad-infinitum
is a piece of cake.. requires little maintenance, and reeling
in some wealthy sucker of a damnfool collector is easy to
wait for.. even if it takes 5 years..
there are actually a LOT of sucker accordions on Craigslist eBay and
other marketplace sites in the USA that HAVE been listed and
relisted for YEARS and yes every once in awhile they DO
catch a sucker
because people with limited actual knowledge get "hot" for
an item when their imaginations expand on the bullshit
listing descriptions and it gets all blown up in their heads..
sadly, there are ENOUGH SUCKERS LIKE THIS to have convinced
these crooks that this is time well spent on their part..
there is a REAL MARKET for sucker accordions
there is also a real market for sucker Guitars.. and because of
years of a constant barrage of wildly exaggerated sales listings
for so many musical instruments here in the USA we also now
see absolutely ridiculous prices on old cheapo low-end instruments
like (rare, original Les Paul Copy) or a Hagstrom or Galanti or Crumar
guitar (which do look cool, but were never expensive or particularly
special)
absolutely ANYTIME you see the word "Rare" in an ad, you should
run away as fast as you can
absolutely anytime you see the phrase "should be an easy repair"
you should run away as fast as you can
and probably anytime you see "Hand made reeds" on an ad
that is NOT from a known accordionist or accordion shop,
what should you do boys and girls ???
you should run away as fast as you can
hell, i see "Double tone chamber" and i delete the page..
anyone who has to embellish the obvious is looking for
a sucker.. you all know by now what a tone chamber is in
pretty much any expensive worth owning accordion built after
1960 ? right ? and how many reedsets are in the chamber ? right ?
i mean, you all DO know girls have two too ?
does an advertisement for a blow up sex doll need to
claim excitedly that it is Double breasted as if it
were something special or unusual ?
sheesh !@#$%^&*
ohh, and finally, when you see an ad that drops the name of
Giovalli Gola or Silvio Scandalli or Settimo Soprani when
the accordion for sale is NOT an actual Gola or Scandalli or
Soprani.. and most especially when the accordion is an old
BoatAncha of a decrepit organ-accordion
