eubassix

Oh well.. it's all-over now, bar the shouting. 2-bids / £631 doesn't seem a lot for what was advertised as an Original 78P .. or is it about right? maybe others were put-off for/by various reasons/checks. Interestingly, the winner - Robbosax - is also locally based: he has lots of Sax stuff up on ebay, but none of the sax players I know seem to know him (but then they are not really much involved in ebay). Most of the 43 items didn't sell - but those that did netted some £6k, with 14 still 'on' and a potential of another £5k (with some already selling/bids). Everything within a week or 10-days, so if it is a scam with PP or other non-cash & collect sales it could be lucrative. Feedback hasn't changed from (2) + 90-days: although that's understandable with all the sales being so recent. I'll try to follow-up and reveal all in due course !!

Been sorting-out and found three booklets which I neatly filed away (.. probably should have been sent out with items - Sorry - although the LW is a copied version). 1. Roland Cube Bass 100 Owners Manual(A4) 2. Variax Bass Pilots Handbook (A5) 3. LightWave Music Operating Manual (A5) If you own one of the above and are missing (..possibly 'in-action' re. the Variax) the booklet, drop me a PM or post here.

NO reply to text as yet - maybe I'll call him before the P ends on Sunday or Monday. It just seemed a bit odd (apart from the Yuletide Greeting / reply... then no reply to text) that he'd not done anything for the past 90+ days (registered late 07 I think, with just (2) feedback) and then to have 40+ items which end from this evening until Monday evening and which, if they were to all sell at current/start prices would yield some £15,500+ I agree with all the sensible observations above (although I've not had time to view all the various items/photos) - but wonder if the 'Collection OK' was maybe a default choice or a double-bluff: I'm not sure how many items sold from such a list might be subject to a personal collection.... (OK - who said ..."who would go to Middlesbrough if they could possibly avoid it ?!!" - I'll see you outside) As it's a local one, I'll keep track if possible to see what happens. [b]+ if anybody here was planning to bid (or bidding) on the P bass, I'd be happy to check it out for them if won[/b]. Not sure if any of the BC Community would/should be bidding on the 'other' stuff (!!)

The seller has 43 items ending in the next 3+ days - mostly high-end guitars, but also some FX pedals etc. and this attractive 70's fender P. I sent a message (he's supposedly based in Stockton or Middlesbrough - both close to my location) asking to see/try the instrument and recevied the following reply:- [i] " Hi There, Thanks for your kind email it is much aprieciated.Please keep watching my listings. Can I wish you a very happy Christmas to yourself and your family Best Wishes - rollinghome63 " [/i] .. very nice/seasonal, but not really what I was expecting (!!). Feedback is limited (2) and both these beyond 90-days. I've sent a text to the no. provided .. no response (as yet).
