Technically it's not fraud. It's misleading as hell, but it's just an example of how to read the fine print.
Heck, it's not really fine print, it states in the title that it's a list.
This auction is for a pricelist. :roll:

I actually wrote the guy telling him how misleading it was to respresent getting a Mesa with his advert of a wholesale list. YES I read the whole thing but on first glance he makes it seem like you can actually get a Mesa Dual Rec for $300.00. And that's ******** !
I understand cross-promotion marketing but this is just stupid !
:roll:

Lame.

That sounds like a send me a dollar scheme but on a grand (300x) scale.

Wanna learn how to do this yourself?

Send me a dollar... or 300...

I thought Mesa has a set price that nobody can tamper with, not even guitar center.

How can any joe blow touch a wholesale? I doubt it.

EDIT: The listing has been removed, guess ebay thought it was bogus too.

The jerk sold one to some eBay newbie, then left him negative feedback. People like him make me sick.

Doesn't ebay have rules against this sort of thing?

EDIT: I just emailed him:

"You're a prick! I've listed your fraud to numberous websites and web forums all over the world, I reported you to ebay along with many others to which read your fraudulent ads. How dare you rip people off like this! You ruin it for us honest sellers!. You make me sick!"

I reported the auction to eBay under "misleading" title as there is a current auction.
