You may want to contact e-bay and let them know that a seller is
knowingly and falsely advertising an item.

receive the pics)

Hello,
This was bought in my store.
I do not know much about it.
Here are a few pic.
Thanks.

Airport Pawn Shop

Miami, FL. 33126.

In his/her own words, the seller does not seem sure what it is, and may
not know the impact that describing this bassoon as an 11K Heckel may
have on the bidding.

But whether or not the misrepresentation of the bassoon is intentional,
could any individual (from this list) get sued by the seller for
contacting the bidders of this item and letting them know that it is not
as advertised? (Yes, I know that anyone can try to sue anybody for
anything.)

It appears like the seller will probably not remove this item, and I
feel that the bidders need to know that it is falsely advertised (again
whether intentional or not) so that they may retract their bids. If it
were one of my students bidding on this horn I'd want them to know.
