Roger2611 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Now bid up to £180, you could probably pick up 2 Peavey's and 4 Encores for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonks Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 i told the guy it's a fake and he wrote back asking why i think that as he claimed not to know anything about the subject. So I explained and I told him to Google Fender basses and see if he could find one with that shape headstock. Then I told him to check out Vintage and Encore basses and the plethora of others. But he's continuing with the sale even though he now knows its a fake. I've reported it to Ebay with the 'report button' down on the bottom right of the listing. I know it's not really my business but I feel for the poor saps that are bidding. If you feel the same I urge you to press the 'report item' button too.

Musky Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Just a thought, but I wonder if any of those bidders are going to be taking advantage of Ebay's policy of instructing bidders of counterfeits to keep the item whilst also refunding them?
