Amazing is not the word.

An Italian electronics company advertising in (slightly broken) English in the Ecuador section of a Spanish-language website.

Giving an email address but no website of its own. And no name for the company that I can see.

Hmmmmm.

Assuming they are legitimate at all, the only way I can see they could make money is to charge $850 for the sax and a few thousand for shipping, like some of the Chinese outfits on eb@y.

Remember the saying; If it's too good to be true, it's not true. I mean, really. 900 for an R13? 1500 for the Prestige model?

That's a scam, no way that is possible, or at least you'll be paying out the butt for shipping as mentioned above.

I mean come on $2000 for a Tosca Bb and $1900 for the Tosca A?? Doesn't make sense.

instruments , they are all brand new and they also come with a one
year international warranty and a 30 days return policy, which states
clearly that within the period of 30days if you are by any
chance not satisfied with the sax you can return it and get a refund
or another one ,.we are based in Poland and we are a small legitimate
trading company, we recently lunched into the internet market , and i

Bing, bing, bing, bing (bells going off!). Never, ever, ever, ever send money via Western Union to a company you've never dealt with, and even then ...

It's the same as giving cash to a stranger (ever worse - there's a fee on top).
