the boy

I feel ill, it actually made my head ache. It confused my eyes, its like something pulled from hellboys anus.

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1320836372' post='1431972'] so why should that stop anybody buying another one?? [/quote] ?????????????????

That is absolutely beautiful. Good luck with it mate.

Poor bastard.

Bought some guitar bits and pieces from hong kong for cheaper than seems legal on the bay. All arrived in good condition. I was quite pleased. What ya gotta remember is these eastern traders are so desperate to tap into the western Market that they daren't put a foot wrong, negative feedback for these guys would be instant Hari-Kari. Trade with confidence. Everything you buy in the Uk comes from these guys anyway so all you are doing is cutting out the middle man.

Didn't somebody report it as a fake to eBay? To be fair it's a lovely guitar but it's an obvious fake, somebody is gettin ripped off here big time.

£17.50 all in, how much is a bag of coal.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1320068693' post='1421811']If the execution had been better (considerably better), that might have made a nice unusual instrument.[/quote] Yes I agree if the guy who did this was executed before he started the outcome would have been much better. Not sure crack was the drug of choice here. This looks more like the intense whittling of a crystal meth addict. I heard a story once about this guy on crystal meth who whittled his foot into the shape of a hand so he could climb trees like a monkey.

A squier Vintage Modified it aint, a "Vintage" as in the manufacturer it is.[/quote] Now that should be reported, I haven't got it in me though. Bloody cheek all the same. Funny how people never make mistakes that downplay their instruments. Like a 51 p bass listed as a squier with logo jobby.

Can't get the link up but has anyone noticed the "squier vintage modified" for sale with the above details.

Maybe the guy doesn't know. He probably got suckered himself. Has anyone contacted him.

mmmmmmmmmmmm..........? now thats plain and simply taking the p!$$.

I suggest the claim of a bereavement in the family should prompt us to handle this case quite sensitively guys. This may be a genuine case of "not knowing" what they are selling.

I agree it appears hes using association to distract from the truth. Nice looking guitar but I think you are right Bob, well spotted.

Ya maybe.

Ugly. That sanded corner is ridiculous looking. The paint job is the kind of thing you love or hate and I don't love it.

I reckon someone got a good deal there. If you sell them on individually you would end up with a guitar or two for free. Worth the effort I think we will agree.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1319851795' post='1419451'] The dumb person not checking can still push up my bid, so he is trying to screw me too.[/quote] Hi mate.Not if you are happy to pay your max bid and no more. If you are outbid then it's someone elses problem and as long as you don't get caught up in bidding hysteria(which is the addictive aspect) then you are safe. This guy is using a sneaky way of fixing a feeless reserve. Maybe I'm wrong here and I'm not seeing things clearly or maybe it's because I'm the type of guy who roots for the bad guy in a movie. Either way I don't get what this guy is doing thats so terrible.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1319838063' post='1419304'] I'm not a thief though.[/quote] Meeeoww................nobodies calling you a thief, granted I did imply you were a tell tale(apologies). Anyway stop being so serious it's only a bit of banter. The phrase honour amongst thieves represents solidarity amonst the little man in medieval times under an oppressive monarchy. The lower classes would habitually rob the ruling classes to survive however under no circumstances would they steal from each other, hence honour amongst thieves.

Buyers should look at the postage fees, if they don't they are dumb. This guy is a crook without a doubt, but he's up for crookin the big man not the little guy. eBay fees are extortionate surely we can agree on that and surely we can agree that a buyer should check the postage fees, and if we can agree on those two then is it not plausible that this crook doesn't mean us any harm. Ain't you guys ever heard of honour amongst thieves? We are in this together, eBay is the enemy. We shouldn't be telling tales, or quotin the rule book. Please! Please! Will somebody think about the children.

Reported? The bay is a poisonous labyrinth of deceit of rear end fingering, if this guy is getting one over on the man, then good for him.

You are wise beyond your years my friend, with such insight and turn of phrase I reckon you at 437. You are dead right.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1319107709' post='1409925'] "Is anyone truly happy?" Of course not. It's the human condition to be perpetually unsatisfied with your current situation, it's what is supposed to drive you on to bigger and better things. Of course these days now that our lives are so comfortable and there really isn't much else to strive for in our lives, we end up becoming very depressed because we can't understand why we don't have this ficticious feeling of "happy" that everyone else around us seems to have. It's why countries that have suddenly become economically prosperous like china also have some of the fastest growing suicide rates in the entire world. [/quote] so simply put yet so depressing. My dog is chinese and lately my wife and I had a windfall so we bought him a new kennel and a watering bowl and a small 19" tv for his new abode. we changed his food type from budget sainsburys own brand food to some really top line chum. However I noticed that the more we bought him the more miserable he got, all he wanted to do was lie in his kennel watching re-runs of "the littlest hobo". Your post explains a lot because yesterday our washing line went missing and my wife told me she found it fashioned to the rafters of Rovers new den. At first I thought perhaps he was making some sort of hammiock or maybe a swing, but your post has shed new light on the situation. Thank you. I think I need to have a chat with my dog. Anyway this whole amp thing is a scam we all wanna sound like somebody else, even when we have the same gear as the next guy we still think his is better, we imagine he has some hidden pedal we dont know about or his amp is the -10 and we only have the -9, I stopped worrying about these things a long time ago and now Im happy because I stopped givin a [email="cr@p"]cr@p[/email]. The amount of money I wasted over the years on rigs and amps and effects boards that I end up selling for half what I paid for them to then go out and buy what is supposed to be the holy grail of sound only to be told by my so called mates that the last sound was more "crunchy" or "pumpy" or "had more oomph" so in the end I gave up. And only then was I truly happy. Im not sure if there is a lesson here or does it only serve to prove what a cantankerous old fart Ive become.
