Ventriloquist Central & Marketplace - ALERT

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

BEWARE……. I received an email today that is one of the oldest scams in the book. The person wanted to purchase one of the dummies I have listed on the Ventriloquist Marketplace.

I wasn’t too concerned (I’ve seen the scam many times) until I was contacted by another person that has an item listed on the Marketplace and they had received the same email from the same person wanting to purchase their item.

The scam involves sending a cashiers check for more than the amount of the item….then you (as the seller) cash the check, keeping your asking price while giving back the remainder of the money.

Here’s the exact email:

Hello Seller,

How are you doing today and how business and family? well i saw your ads which is posted , I wanna purchase it and I’m glad that i found it….Well i will like you to tell me the presently condition of this ads . I will like you to get back to me with your contact address, email address, phone number and the total price of the this ads.
The payment will be made by cashier check and the shipping of the item will be handle by my shipping agent, the shipper will come to you for the pick up, when payment is clear from your bank.
The payment is going to mail to you by my client and it going to be in
excess and i want you to deduct your amount from it and the balance back to the shipper for pick up. I will be looking forward to hear back from you, if you’re ok with this terms.. Looking forward to read from you ….Hoping to read from you soonest

 

Sometimes the “buyer” will offer to let you keep extra money for your troubles….it’s all a scam so don’t be fooled.

Lee Dunn’s #2 McElroy Style “Johnny” Ventriloquist Figure

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I am proud to be able to offer the ventriloquist public Lee Dunn’s #2 McElroy style Johnny figure. This masterpiece is for sale right now on the Ventriloquist Marketplace.
 
This is a phenomenal ventriloquist figure created by Lee Dunn with over 280 hours of labor and a compilation of handmade brass parts which numbers over 200. Can you even imagine doing this type of work? There are so few today that are able to accomplish this feat. If the McElroy brothers were alive today they would take their hats off to Lee.
 
This Johnny style figure has the following functions: Slot jaw, opening slot jaw with automatic stick out tongue, hand painted floating weighted side to side eyes, floating weighted eyebrows, lowering eyelid with automatic pull down of the eyebrow, over ride lever for raising both eyebrows, fright flip up wig, spitter with mouth in both open or closed position, light up nose, wiggling ears and locking cradle for the head stick.
 
He has been totally painted by hand and is as nice as any out there. The body and hands are perfect reproductions of the McElroys’ with the wood knees and formed feet.
 
The  opportunity to purchase a figure like this will not come around again soon so take advantage of this super deal and say yes today to purchasing this incredible ventriloquist figure. Don’t let someone else purchase him.

Also, if the buyer wishes I can offer a perfect reproduction of the wooden McElroy case complete with the cradle to hold the head.

Check out both at the Ventriloquist Marketplace.
