morsefull Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I nearly bid before i went to work but had 2nd thoughts as the photos were a bit lacking. Also I had a 2hr drive to pick up and it's a lot of fuel and time to waste if it had any unmentioned issues. I've got the 5 string SSII and it's awesome. Someone has probably picked up a serious bargin! I hope they enjoy playing it as much as I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morsefull Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Not so cheap, check the sellers feedback and you'll see this; Negative feedback rating seller contacted me and wanted winning bid price raised before he would sell.

Shambo Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I had the same issue with a Roland practice amp. I left negative feedback when the seller refused the winning bid, and they simply abandoned their profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 That is cheap! If I were the winning bidder, my first thoughts would have been that it'll be difficult to get him to part with it though... an all too often occurrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through the ebay process to get his home number and called him, he was a bit surprised to say the least and basically said that he wasn't selling that cheap so I could go take a jump... 30 minutes later I turned up on his doorstep! He ranted a bit and told me to 'go forth and multiply' but I resolutely stood my ground and explained that he had entered into a contract and that was a contract that I intended completing. He went inside and closed the door and just as I was on the verge of giving up knocking on his door (approx 15 minutes), the Police turned up. The seller came out and started shouting and gloating at me, right up until I'd quietly reasoned with the two officers and presented my paperwork from ebay (yes sad I know but I had printed it off just incase the guy denied any knowledge), at which point the officers told the seller to sort this out as it was not a criminal matter (civil) and that I was within my rights to be there paying for the item that I had purchased. The police duly left and the guy slammed the door! The end of the story is a bit of an anti-climax as he still didn't open his door or sell me the bass but he was removed from ebay (seems my purchase wasn't the only one he pulled out of). I could have started a civil court case but it really wasn't worth the hassle. I did however get my own back on him but that is another story.

Failure to complete the sale is breaking that contract (which by the act of signing up to ebay you have agreed to); it is then a contract as per any contract that you either agree to in writing or verbally and there is a civil case for the breaking of that contract. However, the onus is on the buyer to initiate any proceedings as ebay will not act. Do you know otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
