Re: XB-40s on ebay?

[wmharps@xxxxxxxxx]

I did a little bit of online sleuth work after attempting to contact 
the "seller" of these harps.  The seller's email address (which bounced) 
was "unltdfreecash@xxxxxx", which turned up in several places on the web with 
the name "Earthquake Jones".  Earthquake Jones, it turns out, has a web site 
from which he sells harmonicas and other musical equipment, at, naturally, 
www.earthquakejones.com.  He also teaches blues harp at UC-Riverside ("Each 
student will be required to bring $35 cash to the first meeting for their 
harmonica and materials.")

Like most of the other harmonica online retailers, Earthquake has a listing for 
the XB-40, which he advertises at $64.93 each, listed as available in the keys 
advertised in his ebay auction.  He also has a listing for a set of all 13 
harmonicas, list price $1299.35 (99.95 x 13), on sale for $840.  I guess he 
didn't get the word about the delay in delivery or the changes in keys 
available, he's probably thinking he'll take delivery before the auction 
closes.  

Anyone have any dealings with Earthquake Jones in Riverside, CA?
