chrissweden Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I think someone accidentally spilled some coffee on the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin swan Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 cellopera, what is your expectation of an Ebay seller (in Germany) who doesn't accept Paypal? The claim that it's Italian seems about as serious as the claim that it's a cello ... These days everyone, knowledgeable or not, is within reach of (and easily finds out about) the many auction companies who bust a gut fighting for half-decent Italian violins. Why would anyone sell such a thing on Ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone sell such a thing on Ebay? Yes, you are right. I have an acquaintance who bought an original Eugenio Degani violin for 600€ off of eBay about an year ago. He got it authenticated by Eric Blot. I am sure there are some bargains from time to time! [but not this time] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
