Default E-BAY ALERT

Item number: 150056692161

I don't think anyone will be duped by this, but just in case........

I e-mailed the seller to inform them they were way off base on the description, especially the part about the bow retailing at over $1,000. The reply I got was they got that "information" from the bows "creator" themselves, while visiting the shop. Just to be 100% sure, I made a phone call, told them what was going on, and when they got done laughing they informed me of the following:

That bow is at least 8-10 years old, going by the serial number and the way the riser is built, and it hasn't been called "J.O.P." in at least 7 years (it's a Falcon).

They have never built even ONE bow anywhere in that price range.

This bow is not "one of a kind". There's been over 2,000 of them made, although the way the riser is glued up has changed, and the wood combos vary.

I don't know if the seller got told a big one and was ripped off, or is just trying to rip someone off, but I wanted to let folks know either way.
