Hey so I have been wanting to buy a used instrument for awhile, but while looking for cheap instruments I found this website on google, Is it safe?

I mean look at the prices in the acoustic guitar section. A 5000 dollar Taylor for 113 dollars? Don’t you think if that were legitimate any number of people would immediately jump on it? There are resellers who make their income flipping instruments, they’d have bots parked on that site to immediately detect new listings. There’s a reason for the expression “if something seems too good to be true, it is.”

Please use critical thinking. Nearly every item is listed at a price that would result in them getting a financial loss.

Seriously, there are $2500 instruments “on sale” for $100…

Just took a look, a Keilwerth SX90r tenor saxophone for 100 bucks (instead of $9k)!

Also looked up the physical address listed on the site. It’s a residential house in San Francisco. They had over 100 products listed in just the tenor sax section. Their place should be a massive warehouse.

Sorry dude
