When in France

AndyW

if you're in France, be sure to check out their version of "Gumtree" or "Craiglist",
It's called LeBonCoin and always has lots of nice GJ guitars for sale, all over the country.
Doubtful if many of sellers will ship outside of their country,
but you could ask (in French 8) )

search for Manouche and Guitare , with an E on the end..

currently 8 pages of results, including a nice De-Mauro for 2 500 €
and a re-backed Selmer for 6500 euros??[ is it real ? ]

There's quite a few scams on that site too. At least the accordion black market appears to be thriving in France.

Does this one look like a scam? No SN or pick of the label.

Are you really asking?

"Le dos a été changé par Favino et l'étiquette a disparu"

the back has been changed for a Favino and the label has disappeared.

yeah - well maybe pass on that one, -
but there are dozens of nice Millers, Bueschers, Di Mauros ,Castelluccias, Favinos and Duponts - -
they cant ALL be scams....

Oh ok, just curious. I don't speak ANY French (unfortunately) so no idea what the ad said.

Not that I'm in the market for a $6500 old guitar.
