So when I fill out a claim form do you think I should claim the full value of the guitar or just the repair???? - given that the guitar is now considerably de-valued as a result of the damage.

Guys, firstly thanks for the help. I'm a bit panicked at the moment so cheers, I knew I could count on some good advice!

OU7shined, I havent contact the courier yet but i'm sure they will do everything in their effort not to pay. I just want to make sure that I am covered and that both me (as seller) and buyer are within our rights.

Its been suggested that I ask if the buyer inspected the guitar before signing for it from the courier...otherwise there would be no way to prove the damage didn't occur after delivery, does this seem reasonable?

Hi all, i'm hoping for some advice on this....

I just sold a Gibson SG via ebay and have received an email from the buyer stating that the guitar has arrived with a headstock break. Now, I know this is a common weak spot with Gibsons and I had taken account of this by loosening the tension in the strings before postage, bubble wrapping the guitar inside the hard case, then putting the hard case in a cardboard box (an actual Gibson one from my local guitar shop) with additional packing material so the case didnt move around inside the box. I've used this Courier to send guitars (in less extreme packing may I add) on a number of occasions and have never had any problems.

My main concern is that the buyer, throughout the process kept emailing and stressing that the packing should be as secure as possible (fair enough) and this has sort of got my spidey senses tingling, I'm not sure why, it just has. Now, I should state that there is nothing at the moment to suggest anything untoward has taken place but I just have a feeling in my gut.

The buyer has asked if I have any solutions now the guitar has been de-valued (which seemed a strange way to phrase things).

I guess i'd like to know if anyone has had a similar experience or has any advice to offer????

So far, I have got back in touch and apologised for the problem. I've asked for detailed photographs as well as stating that I would require the guitar to be returned so I could put it into a shop to have the damage fully assessed and a likely cause determined before being able to make any sort of claim to the courier and once this had taken place I would be able to offer a refund.

Am I going about this the right way? I've never been in this position before and any advice will help.

Hi

Yeah, I was going to plump for the middle postage option if I went for it but I may leave off.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Yeah that is one to consider, its annoying particularly given that these arent 'new' instruments.

Hi

I'm quite interested in this:

[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-Hard-Puncher-White-P-Bass-Guitar-MIJ-80s-/320661573993?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4aa8eb5169#ht_13381wt_1139"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-Hard-Puncher-W...ht_13381wt_1139[/url]

my main concern is the seller, the feedback and things look fine but i've never ordered from an international seller before. Does anyone have any experience with this seller specifically, and if so how was the service, postage, etc.

Thanks

Chris

Yes it is but its overpriced. The G-3 is tonally the best of the bunch but even in such good condition it should be £700 max.

Hi Mate

As a fellow Ric owner i'm sorry to see that hard times are forcing the sale of what is clearly a lovely bass! Also, perhaps its worth reminding people that the mods dont look too keenly on the open discussion of a price on a thread. The OP is entitled to sell at any price and if you want to discuss it, the appropriate way to do so is via the PM function.

Personally, even though the market is a little flat at the moment its still a great price for such a nice Ric in a relatively rare colour scheme. If I had the cash i'd have yer arm off.

What about an M9? I love mine and its a helluva lot cheaper than the G-Major.

Hi

I'm thinking of selling my Digitech Whammy IV (the new, red one with MIDI, etc) as its just not getting any use at the moment. I've looked about and was thinking around £95, going by other ones that have sold.

If you are interested PM me.

Thanks

Chris

Oh and it comes with the power supply.

Hi

I am selling my Crowther Audio Prunes and Custard fuzz pedal. Its got a couple of scratchy pots but nothing a bit of contact cleaner wont sort (I just dont have any to hand at the moment or i'd do it myself) and its missing one screw from the bottom (which makes no difference to the pedal). Other than that its great! £90 posted within UK - payment by Paypal.

PM me for info, thanks.

Chris

SOLD

He's also playing by the rules by not 'advertising' on the ebay section which I wholeheartedly agree with!!! Fantastic looking bass.

For the OP, +1 on that Ibby. I have the earlier Ibanez AE10B and its a great a/c bass. I tried out about a half dozen or so at the time (Fender, Warwick, Epiphone) and the Ibanez offered best sound and playability!
