Def not a genuine Rick but possibly a Gherson. Also, looks like the bridge is missing and that whole tailpiece unit is mis-aligned, given how the strings are running on the 'board. Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Has the same tuners as my CMI one. Shouldn't last long with the R word in there. I also message telling him it wasn't a real one. Funny how he prefers believing the person who told him its a real one. Quote
Billy Apple Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Why do people sell things for their 'friends'? Why don't their 'friends' sell it for themselves? Quote

Why don't their 'friends' sell it for themselves?[/quote] I sell stuff for friends because my friends have dayjobs an can't be dealing with all the associated stuff. Plus I know more about everything than everyone, so makes it a lot easier for me to answer questions, unlike this guy. Quote

[/quote] Er, yes... I do actually sell stuff for my friends if they don't have an eBay account, or if they're having some kind of problem with PayPal, and so forth. But I would never put 'selling this for a friend' in the description. Quote

It's an easy get-out clause from answering questions.... Erm, yes, I've been told it's a Ric, but it's not mine etc etc... Quote
Billy Apple Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Hang on! what's happened? last I looked it was at £275. Now it's Starting at £50! Mr Foxen, you know more about everything than everyone, what gives? Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Well, I pretty much don't put 'selling for a friend' in my auctions, unless I want to say how great it is, to the extent I need to say why I'm not keeping it. Quote

Mr. Foxen Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) He pulled it himself (listing vanishes if ebay do it), meaning had to cancel all bids first. And most of the bids were a ton of shill bids by a 0 feedback bidder, and one by me, I bid right away so he couldn't edit his crappy listing. Maybe he got an off ebay offer, or found he couldn't edit it, so pulled it. Edited October 16, 2011 by Mr. Foxen Quote
