Marc Savoy accordion on E-Bay

That Savoy accordion that was so controversial was sold (see completed listings) and relisted by the same guy. Any ideas?

Last time I looked, it was at $2,000.

Isn't a new unit from Mark cheaper than that?

Re: Re: Re: Marc Savoy accordion on E-Bay

No, I believe a new unit from Marc starts about $2400. Fancy woods are $2650.

New "unit" is $1995 for model 1

Unless you want fancy figured wood then it's a few hundred more.

I'm getting me an Acadian in lowwww G painted white with black features for $1995

And believe you me, his accordions are worth much more!

Never take them for granted if you own one or two or three, etc.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Marc Savoy accordion on E-Bay

Ow!

When I bought my C-Box from Mark, I think it cost
$1,200 if'n I remember correctly (which I may not :-)

But .. that was a ways back now!

It could be a shill.

The "buyer" might have been a shill. I saw the first bid, and it is a little suspicious because the "buyer" was a new Ebay user.

I have seen auctions is which the seller has a shill participate in the bidding in order to drive up the bid price. Of course, the shill has to make sure not to end up as the highest bidder. If that happens, then one way would be to relist the item.... Hmmm, sound familiar?

Re: It could be a shill.

Looks like that exactly, I am surprised Ebay has not pulled the lister off yet.

Re: Re: It could be a shill.

If you read the previous thread, seller said he had 2 accordions.

But it still is a weird story, using pics of at least 2 different accordions. And then this description....

Glad I already have one

I guess Ebay just want the guy's money and doesn't really care if he's a scam.

You may be right.
Ebay will pick up a good bit of cash on a $2000 sale.
