so this fodera has a buy it now of £1 !!!

yeah right! scroll down and in the small print you have.... 'A PayPal invoice of the balance (£3,149)' and 'If you were wondering why the full price was not displayed at the top, it is because a Fodera’s value lies where most people don’t look, and not on the contrary, where they often glance'

plus i think the pics are from the bassnw.com website....? look familiar


idiots!!


peace

It might be all OK.

I can understand why he's done it. If it's bought and the transaction is smooth and successful he'll save about £65 on Ebay fees.


How do those folks at Ebay sleep at night? Oh yea! - In silk tapestries of exquisite black and gold that are custom woven by doves and dodos dressed as page boys and chimney sweeps.

True. I think the rule of thumb is if anyone tried to avoid paying ebay / paypal money the auction is history. If someone is selling an obvious fake or scam item, but ebay / paypal make money out of it, then it's on the back burner.............

[quote name='dlloyd' post='15561' date='Jun 11 2007, 12:23 PM']Yep, the description is amazing, since the guy doesn't own the bass...

(as the OP suggested).

I'm sure, judging on the guy's feedback, that he fully intends on acquiring the bass for the auction winner, and that the £1000 difference between his and Bass NW's is entirely for shipping and taxes.[/quote]

Nice work - were you ever in Police Squad? :)

MB1. be)

just wondering how the law stands on that one.if youd been stupid enough to bid the pound,youd be entering a legally binding deal to cough up the other £3000+ he so casually mentions,while driving the point home!ARE YOU GOOD ENOUGH?,STUPID enough more like.dont get me wrong nice bass,but not within everyones grasp.how many times have you just put that pound on to get the ball rolling(obviously knowing full well, youre going to be outbid,but just to put the item in your bid list).goes to show, it pays to read the small print, and on ebay if it looks too good to be true,it generally is!!!
