pst62 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epiphone-Thunderbird-Classic-IV-in-Alpine-White-WITH-USA-PICKUPS/153850451843?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144 I messaged this clown the first time he advertised it as a Classic Pro, told him it wasn't what he was advertising it as, he reeled off the classic "selling it for a friend" spiel. I'm guessing it sold and has been returned once the buyer got it. As he's trying again. I'd like to report it, but ebay's reporting format is so restrictive.

Woodinblack Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 But if there is anyone who actually wants the Classic IV, they would know simply by looking at the pictures that it is a bolt on, so it can't be a classic IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's obviously 8 people at least who don't seem to know. Edited March 6, 2020 by pst62 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Used to irritate me but now I think, well if they can’t be bothered to research what they are buying, is it my job to stop them buying the wrong thing? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. I see things all the time advertised wrongly, it used to annoy me also, but it's not my duty to right others wrongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Go on then @Dan Dare, take a £100,000 punt! See if that's enough to take the prize! Gasping to get it to over a million! 😂 Edited March 6, 2020 by binky_bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Omg the douchebag is trying to threaten/intimidate me. He just created a new account and "bought" a few of my items then sent me a message saying "want to buy a thunderbird" Next message was Dudley, and my date of birth. What a stellar chap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym1 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 It was me who messaged you. I'm a long term follower of this forum that feels like its unfair to mess with an obviously ignorant seller who (to me at least) sounds like he just has no clue what he is trying to sell looking at his history of totally non-musical items. Just remember the internet is a silly place to pick fights. It isn't as transparent as it all seems. I'm not excusing him but you should all grow up.

Ricky 4000 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 So that wouldn't be you who's selling the bass in question, or anything like that? 😬 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you haven't read this thread - in particular the replies the seller has sent to questions posed to him - he knows exactly what he is doing and that is trying to deceive people. Now you have bought items on my eBay account you have no intention of paying for and also tried to intimidate me. You seem to be as much of a c@nt as the seller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym1 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 They have obviously said to TheGreek that it wasn't as they thought when pointed out to them. It looks obvious to me like a genuine novice. And yes, I did that to you as you needed an important lesson learnt. As you are doing to this person. It's childish (I see the irony). Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Errr, this may be a stupid question, but how would you know the bidder's ebay ID if you weren't actually the seller? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet his reply to binkybass clearly shows he has no interest in not trying to deceive people Great so intimidation is what you use to teach lessons.
