| Or we could give them the benefit of the doubt because . . . perhaps there are exceptinos to the laws of physics. Perhaps this guitar is in two places at once selling for two prices at the same time. Or the laws of chance - two different people thousands of miles apart may have decided, at the same time, to sell their teal green Emmons guitars and just happened to write the same description word-for word. They say every person has a double; maybe the same is true for pedal steel guitars on eBay and Craigslist. |

I think the smart thing to do is buy the cheaper one.......

The distance is strange, but the price discrepancy is not. With a Craigslist sale, the seller doesn't have to pay Ebay fees or Paypal fees. Often on Ebay, sellers insert these fees into the price of the item. I bet the Ebay reserve would have been the $2,250 starting bid. This way the seller would have covered off the fees and still got $1,999 that he originally needed to get. Have you checked the Mississippi Craigslist? Sometimes people post items in all kinds of different cities looking for a potential buyer.
Or yes, someone in Denver could be looking to scam a steel player out of $1,999.
