He says this pedal had a black label that came off and presents a 6 month old picture of the same pedal to prove that it had a black label. The second picture is clearly of another pedal. Notice how the nut is flush with the jack on the black label pic and a little bit of thread sticking out on the no label pic. In addition the pedal has gained a little paint and lost a screw since the label alledgly fell off.
Oh, and every other CE-2 with serial number 522300 would have a green japan label

Interestingly, the last 3 of the 5 photos of the pedal won't resolve when I try to view the auction. Maybe they were taken off?
Thanks for the heads up - I'm looking for a CE-2 so this one is off any possibility of being on the list
He even claims that its a SS, looks like black plastic to me.

I can see the pics now... yes, that protruding thread on the 1/4 jack is a give-away... unless it's been opened and the internal star-washer lost between pics. Not good even if that's the innocent explanation - losing parts during a repair is inexcusable and makes you wonder what other unpleasant stuff occured.
