mep 533 Posted November 10, 2020 I had the pleasure if showing his eBay site to a guitarist collegue of mine today. He was suitably gobsmacked to say the least! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hiram.k.hackenbacker 3,445 Posted November 11, 2020 My fault for watching it on eBay, but I’ve had a message from the seller. Apparently, “This is too close to the original so might get wiped from ebay any day, so get it while I can still sell it here... already banned on Reverb!” That day can’t come soon enough IMHO. I note with interest that the price has dropped by £50. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm struggling to understand his eBay ratings - they seem overwhelmingly positive. I'm not saying he's gaming it but it looks like he may have more than 1 repeat buyer 🤔. 1 person bought 3 in a row.

mep 533 Posted November 11, 2020 Oops. Yes I see it now. His feedback has been remarked up here before. Maybe he has a market that doesn't include people like us! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NikNik 357 Posted November 15, 2020 Love the hi-fi knobs. And what's going on with the heel? Interesting TRC. And who needs decals when you have access to a Sharpie? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
