I've noticed however the [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140197889327&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123"]exact same listing[/url] for it a few days later by a different seller (not the guy who bough it either). Do you think it's dodgy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markytbass Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Someone should send him a message saying that it can't be that rare as others have been sold on ebay recently, and oldy enough had the trem arm missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitars are magic so I can only assume the basses are good aswell. Did it sound good/playwell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I mailed him asking why his auction was duplicate of one sold a few days ago. [quote]Hi there, Two reasons, the winner couldn't pay he was a young ebayer who was worried about letting me down but he covered the listing costs. The other was that I had used an account I have just to sell to the uk but I had emails asking if I would send to the USA and Europe which I've decided to do hence I'm using this one (you need so many successful transactions to sell abroad)[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why leave positive feedback saying quick payment or what ever when he hasn't bought it?. Without harping on too much the winning bidder has had the account since 2005 and has been buying car parts, so with the evidence shown I don't think he's a young ebayer.
