then it...erm...gets used as firewood? no idea. I'll probably just have the hassle of driving it to my parents to get put at the back of the spare room for it not to be seen for 30 years, and then I'll rediscover it and by some amazingly incredible miracle it's become a much sort after piece of kit and with the money I make from flogging it I'll be able to buy a ridiculous custom made bass that will cost a gratuitous amount of dolla...or more likely it gets a 99p starting price and is sold to the highest bidder – last resort

bumpmeister... It's got to be gone by the end of June so I've got 2 months to shift it...starting to think 2 months is a little optimistic I'd consider trade offers on it for anything...quite literally anything.

Ok guys…. I’ve been away all weekend without an internet connection and I’ve not seen this thread snowballing. I do admit I have misrepresented the situation but this has been 100% non intentional as I wouldn’t just go around badmouthing for the sake of it…I’m not out to make enemies. I hadn’t checked through the PMs that were exchanged back in early April and I should have definitely checked them before posting anything but instead assumed I had remembered the situation exactly how it was. The £500 figure was stuck in my head as being his first offer because this is what he quoted as the ebay prices so this is the first thing I remembered from the PMs off the top of my head. A £550 offer up to £580 final offer for a mint Stingray is still in my opinion a low ball offer when I had already reduced the asking price by £75 down to £675, but maybe I shouldn’t have discussed this so publically in the first place – a case of ignorance and immaturity? I perceived there to be an underlying implication that £550 was a good deal for a mint Stingray when he had suggested to me that they were going cheaper than this on the ‘bay and I should get back to him quickly so he can bid on them if I wasn’t going to sell him mine. Anyway, as I said – I didn’t purposely set out to tell a fictional story to add my 2 pence’s worth to this thread for the sake of it and I didn’t mean to get the figures wrong and cause anyone offense, it was just the way I remembered it and I’ve put my hand up and admitted I was wrong and tried to amend thing by posting this. I hope this situation is resolved, anyone can get in contact via PM to discuss it further. Cheers Edit: Edit: I do honestly feel bad for creating this situation out of a misquote but I've made myself look like a complete arse in the process as well as losing a certain amount of integrity on this forum so I feel that I've had my comeuppance. What’s your take on this?

anyone...? just realised that I actually have no use for this as I use a mild comp on my pod, offer me a swap on something cheap and interesting? £30 posted is a fair price for a totally mint pedal which sells for £40 + £5ish shipping.

very tasty looking P, looks so sexy in all black with that black graphite neck

[quote name='CS2' post='190393' date='May 2 2008, 11:44 AM']Stingrays are not selling at the moment. Get over it.[/quote] I'm more than happy to keep it as a 2nd back up bass because i wasnt going to sell a mint Stingray for an insane £550. I was just echoing the point that people do PM insulting offers, but in all fairness "you don't get if you don't ask". I was pissed off at the offer and I wasn't sure if the guy was being serious. To tell me to "get over it" is a bit insulting as well as I don't really see that there's anything to get over? If i sell it for a reasonable amount of cash then it's all good and if I don't sell it then I've got a fantastic mint condish 4 string Stingray...where's the issue?

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump

[quote name='BassManKev' post='190372' date='May 2 2008, 11:19 AM']^^^^ wtf! who?[/quote] Well I don’t feel bad to name and shame cos it was someone who only joined up to PM me to give me that offer and since has not posted anything. User name – classic He raised it to £550 but I didn’t know if he was having a laugh or was trying to be serious. People that f*** you around should be named and shamed if only to deter other users from doing the same.

[quote name='minty fresh death' post='190129' date='May 1 2008, 11:12 PM']EDIT: I must say i've some seriously insulting low-ball offers on here though.... completely taking the piss.[/quote] +1 deffo someone offered me £500 for my Stingray when I was asking £700 and they implied that they were doing me a favour by offering this much...no need to ask why my response was.

[quote name='Beedster' post='189879' date='May 1 2008, 06:11 PM']Anyway, with apologies to the few people who've PM'd me today with various "I can get the cash to you by carrier pigeon a pound at a time over the next 14 years" type offers, I'm now fed up good and proper so I'm going to ebay any bass items I have for sale now, purely because I've never been messed around by an ebay buyer but I'm getting messed around all the time here.[/quote] I've only been a member for about 5 weeks but I can definitely relate to this. It is a massive hassle and like bassmankev I've been on both sides of it and it's a massive pain in the arse. It's an issue with buying and selling through a forum, I doubt there's a way to regulate it. I guess it's a hassle that you have to put up with when selling stuff fee free.

ok...1 more bump (maybe last one...doubtful)

and another (bump)
