    Had no problems buying or selling on ebay myself, but will be extra cautious from now on. Generally if I buy something expensive I. Go and collect it in person. I might adopt this policy for selling as well. Good tip about blocking non-payers, I've amended my account accordingly (I mean change preferences on my next sale item)

    I reckon it was probably genuine and either his ebay ad automatically resisted or he got a couple of guitars of Fender free or cheap and was planning on selling them on.

    1 word Roland 100w Bass Cube (ok 4 words) So well built and reliable and easy to sell when you upgrade If you're not in a rush, 1 will come up on ebay in the right condition and delivered. You should be able to get a decent secondhand one for £100 - £140 and you'll get that back when you sell it. If you do end up buying new, haggle the price down - they'll knock 10-15% off almost just by asking Good luck

    Thought I'd share my experiences with couriers. I bought an ashdown valve amp a while back and the guy shipped it with no packaging at all. Courier guy treated it with kid gloves as he could see what it was (must say I wouldn't risk that) Co-incidentally I sold the same amp to some guy in Lithuania who arranged his own courier which turned out to be he his cousin in a van who did regular trips back and forth taking and fetching stuff Mostly when I ship guitars I buy a guitar box from the guitar shop round the corner for £3 and use those. Now I've read the bike box tip I'll do that instead. Recently bought an acoustic in a hard shell case and that arrived with some minimal cardboard packing to prevent scuffing and that was fine. And lastly, if the sale / purchase is within 50 or so miles I'll go and collect / deliver

    Hi Richard I'm less than 4 years away from the big 60 and gave just re-discovered the joy of playing live again. Only local pub stuff but the buzz is nearly as god as sex! I played ad gigged a lot in my youth then gave up due to young family and work. Unfortunately, unlike you, I sold my gear (black early 70's Rickenbacker 4001 with rare chequered binding, Matamp 100w head and 2 Marshall 4x12 ) Anyway, enough regret about old gear I should have kept, keep it up and get out there and play live Phil
