I hear ya I know this scam Spyder, which is why i stated cash only if collecting In fact, in the last 13 years on Ebay, i've never accepted any PP payments on collected items, for the very reasons you state

I'm selling a guitar on Ebay, and have said in the auction that i want collection in person. I also said that anyone needing it posting will have to arrange it themselves, as i dont want the risk of a courier causing damage by drop kicking it around their warehouse or throwing it around and somehow damaging the contents. I have proper guitar packing but i still dont want the risk. Its probably a long shot that it would get damaged, but its my choice. A guy has messaged me saying would i pack it and take it to a drop off depot. I said no, for the reasons above, which are stated in the auction. I'm assuming he read that but ignored it. So i get this this meassge... quote.. [b] [i]Hello , In my experience you cannot reduce your responsibility by not being the one who pays the courier, because Ebay give a customer guarantee that the buyer will receive the item they want in the condition they expect or be eligible for a return or refund. I send out two or three guitars each week and have found it is all about packing really well to get them there in one piece... even if I send a courier you still have to pack the guitar ready for him to collect.[/i][/b] Now, if the courier does deliver the guitar and they've damaged it, how on earth can i deal with the courier that i didnt book, dont have the order numbers for, or the invoice ? He mentions its all about the packing, but i've already stated that i have the proper packing. He's not listening or reading what i stated I've posted guitars before without problem, but i've not booked the courier. Thats my choice, as i said The responsibility that i have is that the guitar is as described. Isn't it ? If i misrepresented what i was selling, i would have it back and refund., but i dont do that because its not worth the hassle, and its morally wrong to sell someone something that isnt what i described. I'm careful to list things correctly to avoid those situations So what is he on about ? Also it appears he's a dealer and he maybe getting confused and thinks i'm also a dealer.

Dalight robbery. I'll not be able to diagnose your faulty amp for £7

Salutations Ped. Well deserved IMO

No backups for me apart from cables + batteries. Where would it stop ? Anything could go - cabs, amps, pedals, ...i'd need a bigger boat Just one fretted and one fretless. Thats it

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1487539438' post='3240668'] Get out you youngster. I've been eating snacks off the bar all my life and it never did me any harm. All that new fangled scientific analysis. Poke it. [/quote] Who said eating pub nuts would do you any harm ?

Just need the lollypop then..

Bit more Pratt. Icehouse , where his pro career started ( there was stuff before this ) This is Icehouse and Guy supporting Bowie on the Serious Moonlight tour '83. I was at the Milton Keynes Bowl gig This vid is from another venue... Guy at 19 !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzVALmtT0Aw

There's a queue , mate. Also, dont touch the nuts in a bowl on the bar.

Its easier to house train a dog, it seems

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1487530324' post='3240514'] Nope, 1985! [/quote] I KNEW there was some skulldiggery going on with the dates !! From my lack of knowledge regarding Wilkes, i was under the impression he kicked off as builder in the 80's

[quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1487528899' post='3240495'] Can't believe people are moaning about the playing in the vid? I wish I could play that badly! [/quote] Well, Dave Gilmour must have been duped in '87 when he got GP to play and has done, on and off, for a couple of decades. Roxy music were aslo duped into thinking the same thing

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1487528310' post='3240487'] Well, the review by Neville Marten which is transcribed on the Wilkes web page (the review I was thinking of) is dated July 1985. Which does suggest that page has been hanging around for about a decade! [/quote] Then that makes Wilkes sliding pup gits were built in the 70's ... so he was up there with Armstrong Alembic and Gibson. !!

One can get banned for cynicism and sarcasm, with any luck

[quote name='mateusz' timestamp='1487504870' post='3240230'] deceived me 1050 euros .. now no contact. Tomorrow notify police [/quote] I'll await your call

Of course it does. Thats why i posted this thread...whats your point ?

What has evryone got against the Germans ? Forgive and forget, peeps

Now try a 70's haircut ... go on

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1487476069' post='3240075'] I wish they'd given it to a better player to demonstrate. [/quote] You, perhaps ?

According to the Wilkes site, the Answer first came out 20 years ago, assuming that the current Wilkes web pages are not actually 10 years old The Rail bass was featured in a mag in '84 , but i've just remembered that the Gibson Grabber was around in the mis 70's

brilliant

A knighthood ? Sir Skank of Wiltshire on Sea

Oh hang on, the auction's finished. I wonder if he was able to read my message, or maybe the auction ran its course and no one fell for it ?
