[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='73956' date='Oct 13 2007, 10:04 PM']We already know he's a complete liar as he admitted he previously lied about it being packed up.
I'm sure he just tried to save on ebay fees by not setting a reserve, then was disappointed not to get what its worth, but thats the nature of ebay and why I wouldn't sell my stuff on ebay.
He's commiting fraud as the ebay auction is a legally binding agrement to sell at the price & terms stated.
I'd INSIST on paying the sale price for the bass as is and demand the address - it won't be broken that story is so obviously BS (I'm sure you know that already). You've nothing to lose by telling him you know he's lying and put the ball in his court.[/quote]
Exactly what I did last night JLP. I was a bit more subtle however and said I was really pleased he was having it repaired, ( yeah right), and as he has a legally binding contract with me I will call and collect it as soon as it is fixed, subject to it being as described in the posting.
Have given him until tomorrow to respond with a date when it will be ready, or I will raise the issue with e-Bay, including the e-mails of people who have contacted him and he has said it is sold. Needless to say it has now gone quiet
I know I should just take Beedsters advice and just walk away, but I am having so much fun watching him wriggle and squirm I can't let go...... Good job e-mails are free
