Internet auction fraud!!!

Below are pics that I TOOK UPON RECIEPT of a SELMER ALTO SAX MISREPRESENTED AS: "GOLD PLATED" AND WITH "A COUPLE OF DENTS" ON eBAy by LibbyLibbyLibby.

In fact, it is a beat-up, abused, old horrible relacquer...
A once beautiful engraving on the bell of this sax has been all but obliterated
PLEASE NOTICE ALL THE BARE BRASS AND CORROSION ON THE BELL.

ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THE CURVED "SCRATCHES" ON THE BELL. THAT IS ALL THAT IS LEFT OF A ONCE BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVING.

IT REALLY IS A PIECE OF JUNK AS IT IS....!!

IT WAS SOLD AS A GOLD PLATED SAX WITH A COUPLE OF DENTS ON THE BODY TUBE, AND IN NEED OF A COMPLETE "RECONDITIONING"

(THAT IS: A REPAD AND RECORK AKA... AN OVERHAUL)

LIBBY QUOTED SELMER CO. AS SAYING THE HORN WAS "GOLD PLATED"

PLEASE NOTE THE DAMAGE TO THE BOW IN THE FOLLOWING PICS.

A BLOW TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOW AND LOW "C" GUARD SEPARATED THE BODY TUBE FROM THE BOW BRACE.

INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THE BODY TUBE AND REFITTING THE BRACE (OR REPLACING IT)

SOLDER WAS USED TO SIMPLY FILL THE GAP!!

MORE BARE BRASS FOLKS...NOT: GOLD PLATE

THIS DAMAGE WAS NEVER MENTIONED!!

PLEASE EMAIL LibbyLibbyLibby BELOW, and tell her that there is absolutely NOT ONE GRAM OF GOLD PLATING ON THE SAX SHE SENT ME, (in fact, it is an old, old horrible Relacquer... A once beautiful engraving on the bell of this sax has been all but obliterated)

THERE ARE OVER 15 DENTS, AND THAT SHE NEEDS TO REFUND MY MONEY....THANKS

CHECK OUT ALL THE DENTS ON THE BACK SIDE. SHE SAID THERE WERE "A COUPLE".

THERE ARE IN FACT AT LEAST 15 DENTS. THIS MISREPRESENTATION ALONE IS ENOUGH TO ALLOW A RETURN. DON'T YOU THINK?
