| Lots of time scam-artist, like this one, will take a popular brand name, like "Selmer" and then change a few letters into "Selman", so that people who don't know much about instruments will buy it thinking it is Selmer, wich they have heard of before. They don't realize that they just bought some piece of crap horn made in China or India.
I've seen this done with "Celicio" also... "Calichio" imitations...
This is really qutie sad in this case, because on that Ebay page it is selling horns from a actual music store retailer. Normal people only screw people this bad over the internet, but you can actualy walk into their store and get the same screw-job... It's dissapointing in my oppinion that people would take advantage of people who don't know much yet, especial all these young musicians who go out and buy a cheap litle horn to learn on and hopefully advance into a talented musician and make this world a better place. But instead people choose to screw them...
