What eBay Has Taught Us

[tazza1]

[quote name='icastle' post='1047020' date='Dec 4 2010, 01:30 AM']This is a most tempting offer for the item.
Unfortune-ately, I do not have myself the money to pay for the item.
My uncle has money that was confiscated by the government here after the coup but not all of it was taken.
He has $5M in a most secret account and says that he will pay you one million dollar for the item.
He will transfer $2M to your bank account if you will wire the $1M dollar back to him.

We just need your bank account details and your PIN number and we will sort this out with the utmost importance.[/quote]

I've got a better idea you send me the money via Western Union then I'll despatch the bass with your $1m dollars, should be no problems there!

Why limit our options - we could do (e)Bay Watch or we could bring back Opportunity Knockoffs!

"The only minor fault is that it sometimes crackles when adjusting the volume control. This has never bothered me but I think more regular use & some contact cleaner spray would sort this."
Well why couldn't you be bothered to clean the pots then if it's that easy? FFS.

Can of switch cleaner isn't that cheap, and not something most people have about.

[Happy Jack]

I have a rare can of vintage switch cleaner, never been gigged, which I found in my uncle's loft. It may have been owned by John Entwistle, but who can say? A guy at the music shop said it was a prototype of the highest-quality switch cleaner ever invented. It has the rare "transition" logo that says "Made In China".

I'll start the bidding at £120 ...

He's underselling it. These Korean Squire's are much rarer than the Squiers made in Japan.

Don't ask about couriers, or he'll set TIM on you.

And "Acceptional".

[spinynorman]

Since this thread didn't sell I'm relisting it and adding £100 to the BIN.

[Happy Jack]

But I'm also listing it on Basschat for another £100 on top again.

Is that like 100% extra free?

[Truckstop]

I just like the way that the guy put "MINT!" at the end of the blurb when it's clearly not!

It's in cream, so maybe it's MINT cream. Yum.
