loweringthetone Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Is this the same bass as on Ebay with a Buy it Now price of £1050 ?

loweringthetone Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hmmm . This is a bass community not just another free classifieds, and pulling this sort of trick doesn't go down well. If you're a bass player or enthusiast, please introduce yourself, contribute to the forum, and welcome. If youre not, then you may get a better response from Loot. Theres a section on this site in Marketplace for Ebay links and IMHO this needs to go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should be able to consider prices with other basschatters because then the less experienced players won't get a poor deal. Slotted headstock or not, it ain't worth £1300, perhaps his ebay price is better... I don't care whether he's trying to rip us off because were on a bass forum. EB's are still one of the most limiting basses I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 all I meant is that if you disagree with the price, its normally better to pm him instead of making him out to be a dick to everyone on the forum. Who knows, maybe he has been misguided by someone as to the price people would pay here, but is a perfectly nice guy in real life? We'll never find out now as he's no longer on the forum and will never return, plus will now tell people of his bad experience if asked about basschat.

Ive noticed a recent rash of newbies asking the earth for basses just because we are a bass forum ( even folk asking higher than new prices) and this particularly blatent example of hiking up the price got up my nose. But I may have made one bad assumption here. Ooops ........Box of king size elastoplasts and a bucket of diplomacy at the ready for next time.

josh3184 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 i try my best! I never said the price was good nor was I condoning what he was doing, all I said was that telling him it was taking the mick was the realm of private conversation now that he's no longer returning (as he has stated) its all academic.

MythSte Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Ladies and Gentlemen! If we can kindly refrain from chasing new members away it would be much appreciated! the subject has been discussed to death and if anyone has any qualms with pricing then a polite PM to the seller is all that is advised. If not you can be happy in the knowladge it wont sell! Thankyou and Goodnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
