musical instruments on ebay are famous for one side or the other being a scammer. Sellers that ship an empty guitar case, or buyers that take the guitar out of the box and show ebay a picture of an empty guitar case. Actually, real life scammers used to show people a desirable item, and then when the money was exchanged they would "put it in the original packaging" and the person would later find that it had been replaced by a brick or something.
