Hunts down a perfect stranger, buys stuff from him on eBay, sends him a gnomic message then joins a web forum to tell him he's done all this just to teach him a lesson? Sounds perfectly rational to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping the two parties would strip naked, oil their rippling torsos and settle their differences wrestling on a rug in front of an open fire.

Well perhaps you could offer to throw guinea notes at them along with cheerful encouragement and suggestions?

I was expecting it to mean something along the lines of 'of or relating to naff garden ornaments.' But according to the online Cambridge dictionary it means 'short, mysterious and not easily understood...' which sounds like a succinct yet comprehensive description of my very own being. I feel a change of user name coming on... 3 hours ago, skankdelvar said: Sadly not possible as the guinea was only ever issued as a coin. A big, heavy coin.

As men do. I've witnessed bare knuckle boxing in a barn in Somerset about three years ago, and it was a sorry sight to see men goading them on in such a barbaric fashion. And I'm rather ashamed to say I was party to that goading, two men fighting as I saw in the barn that night, naked as the day they were born and fighting the way God intended. Wrestling at points - I don't know if you've seen "Women In Love", that marvellous scene by the fire. It kind of resembled that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's enough for YOU to buy a real one you mean? Either way, it wouldn't be what was in the picture so it'd still get returned! Just advertise the bass for what it is mate and don't be getting all angry you got called out on your incorrect description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Clearly you're the seller. But for fun let's play along!!! The 'seller' was told politely by 3 people that it isn't a Classic IV and still ignored all advice and flat out refused to amend the listing. Now you (I mean the 'seller') are upset that they've been called out. If the seller simple said 'oh, yeah that's right' and amended the listing to be accurate everyone would be happy and he'd have the bass sold honestly in no time! Oh, and I'm not certain 8 hours counts as long term... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. @Pseudonym1 @Thunderpants You/the seller know now with absolute certainty that it is not a Classic IV, if you don't believe the multitude of people that have told you, you can google it. Yet you absolutely refuse to change the listing to correct the mistake. No one placed a sky high bid on this bass until it was absolutely obvious you knew (if you didnt already before) that what you were selling was not a Classic IV. So why not change the listing? The time you have put into 'teaching lessons' has FAR exceeded the time it would have taken to change the listing to the correct thing. Can you adequately explain that? Yes, you initially were not aware the listing was incorrect, MANY people politely told you, you then flat out refused to amend it, now your super angry and have gone all stalkerish because some decent people won't allow you to knowingly defraud a potential buyer. Stupid is as stupid does indeed Mr Gump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
