Annoying Twit Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 I mentioned this Ovation USA made acoustic further up this thread. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ovation-B768-Elite-Acoustic-Bass-Guitar-Black-Including-Hard-Case-/271341979667?ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:GB:3160 Isn't £392 an utter bargain for this? When I looked into other sales, they were over a grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 It's the same on here though. I recently advertised a couple of basses for trade, you wouldn't believe the low priced basses I was offered, despite my requirements being quite specifically stated in the adverts.

[/quote] I think the impersonal nature, and the bidding format of ebay makes it more acceptable to put on these low bids. It's part of the game in a way. I wouldn't feel right making an absolutely silly offer via the 'best offer' feature of ebay. And there's no way that I would make a silly offer to a basschatter. There's a bass for sale on here right now where the price that would be so low that I'd just have to pull the trigger even though it's not quite what I want is only £20 less than the asking price (it's an inexpensive bass). But, I just can't make a lower offer than what I already consider a low price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 It's not bass related but along the lines of silly bids I did once get eleven double glazed windows (none broken all good nick) for 99p. It was a bit embarrassing when I collected them so I let him keep the penny change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
