What's up with this link? Why would someone list a Taylor trumpet for sale on ebay, and not give any information? I don't want to accusational, but this just seems odd to me, though I haven't bought much off of ebay before.

Wow - all the red flags are coming up on this one!

1. New user - today!!
2. No description to speak of
3. Stock photo
4. The domain of their email address is a UK domain provider so the USA location is probably bogus
5. and on and on...

Stay clear or email and get a phone number and address to "talk" to someone!
