Hmm. Every instrument appears to be $14*.** in price. While I am not implying anything about your website or company, to me that is huge red flag.
Then when I click on the about link I see:
"We create looks designed by in-house talent that's made to equip millenial women with the fashion they need for all elements of their life. And since our aim is all about empowerment, we make it easy for everyone by making our product affordable. Its not just fast fashion - its rapid fashion. We drop over 50 brand new styles every single day, working constantly to bring our babes the freshest pieces, put together in wearable ready-to-go outfits."
I wonder what trumpets are doing on a fashion site that caters to women?
I wouldn't be tempted to purchase anything. |

I dug a few steps deeper into the web site to find this Getzen Eterna Severinsen listing:
If it looks too good to be true?
Hundreds, if not thousands of us on this message board are deeply familiar with the market price of this (and other) horns that are listed.
This smells of a phish or outright scam. Thanks for asking our opinion, though. _________________ Kanstul F Besson International 800 Bb

Yup.
Any wagers on over/under number of days before we decide the OP isn't coming back?

I did PM the mods a couple days ago, hopefully this guy will disappear soon.

There is no such animal as cheap brass. Trumpet players are pretty savvy people. Trying to find the best price or a bargain when purchasing an instrument or supplies is one thing. Falling for a scam is another. I would ball into the category of people that think this is some type of scam. I purchased a used trumpet through the marketplace here a few months ago after a long search. I was very pleased with the horn and was able to email questions, as did the seller to me. If it looks too good to be true, it almost always is. |
