megazap63 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 [quote name='jezzaboy' post='953751' date='Sep 12 2010, 05:58 PM']I don`t like posting about the price of things for sale on here but £50???? Each???? If it`s from the US guy that shut down within the last few months, I got a set for £20 including postage. And there was 2 sets in the pack. They look exactly the same as the ones I had. Having said that, if they aint from Bigdecal.com, I apologise and will delete this post. Jez[/quote] These are NOT from Bigdecal.com and cost considerably more than £20 each. Note the following: 1. When you state that they 'look like they're from BigDecal', I assume you're claiming expertise in Fender branding and have the uncanny ability to immediately distinguish each and every Fender decal ever produced regardless of the fact that they're a generic design. 2. My understanding is that BC guidelines for buyers/sellers specifically discourage buyers from commenting adversely in public on pricing. In fact, I recall seeing guidelines that embody the principles of demand/supply and promote the fair notion that while one prospective purchaser may not consider a price reasonable, another may consider the price fair, reasonable etc. In either case, influencing or undermining a prospective sale based on your personal views is not appropriate. 3. I'm happy to refer all such detractors to a Moderator for arbitration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You are absolutely correct about commenting on price. But this community, as you know, operates on trust and when a sale price appears unrealistic (or worse, profiteering) it is rarely the case that comments are not made. I nevertheless wish you the best of luck with your sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 No I don`t claim to be an expert on Fender decals but Bigdecal were a US maker of Fender transfers who recently closed their site. You are quite right, it is against the rules to post about the price of goods that someone places on the marketplace and I will amend my post as I stated. If you feel that you need to report my post to the mods, go ahead. Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
