No it isn't. "I had this made in the usa custom (possible one of a kind in the UK) to [i]what I wanted[/i]" and yet "[i]Not to sure on the details as of what its made of and the pic up details[/i] I just know it set me back alot of money." "you dont usually get this bass in ebony you can only buy it in gold". O RLY? I could order an ebony one from several web vendors this minute if I wanted. They've already removed the porkie pie that it cost them £800 new. They're about £500-600 new, depending on who you ask. £750 and reserve higher than that? Don't make me laugh!

EdwardHimself Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) that is stupid yes. Epiphone don't even have a custom shop as far as i'm aware and they defo wouldn't make a bass for £800. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_jack_casady_eb.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_jack_casady_eb.htm[/url] oh yeah sure £800 and these guys don't think it's too valuable to post FROM GERMANY!

Toasted Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 You should report it to ebay. It's an attempt to defraud and ebay don't like fraud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a little tired of policing the above type of thread. We all know there is charlatans on ebay, its great that we shoull identify them to protect the inexperienced and those with certifiable GAS, but the constant slagging off of folks errors, and niaivity is a little tiring.....

finnbass Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I am quite cool with fraud, deception, misrepresentation and being treated like an idiot. It doesn't ruffle my feathers at all..... Ommmmmmmmmmmmmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneythedog Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Excellent idea. I agree we should have a separate ebay forum and keep these types of thread together. I fully support the "policing" of ebay and I have reported a few listings myself, but I do think these threads should be kept together in a dedicated forum, so those of us interested don't annoy those who aren't.
