SurroundedByManatees Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Anyone who's checking ebay for used bass or guitar gear must be well known with this German seller that seems to be specialized in offering a lot of crap.... I think this is even crappy for his standards: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-MUSTANG-USA-CHARCOAL-EDITION-a-la-JIMI-HENDRIX/173693280838?hash=item2870ed2246:g:VWYAAOSwQf9bjURb Really, where the f does he source this...?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Who'd want to hang that on their wall? Besides anything else, I expect it smells awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I dunno ... the English are very fond of saying that Germans have no sense of humour, and then get all po-faced about a very obvious joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I have often wondered about this seller, pretty much everything I have ever seen him list is, in my opinion, overpriced rubbish, yet he has nearly 13000 feedback scores with the bulk of them being positive, who is buying this stuff and being happy with what they got and the price paid? It's a strange one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 That's because he's not advertising the rubbish he puts in his adverts; he's actually advertising his shop. His adverts are so outrageous that they attract the curious, looking to scoff. When they see his actual site they realise he's a shrewd businessman with some pretty decent stuff at decent prices. Then they buy something and leave 100% Feedback. Simples. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Santa needs a good list, a bad list and a people that need to be pulled apart by horses then tossed into the sun list. This guy would be on the latter list... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though not so many years ago he listed a fretless Wal neck with BIN of a mere £350 - albeit with truss rod nut missing so truss rod could have been FUBAR. Sadly, I dithered too long.......
