Ktmman Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) When they 'innocently' try to mislead those that are not entirely in the know.... Hypothetically ,my wife could bid and win this thinking she has the perfect present for me.....A MIA Stingray...( but I already have one unknown to her) It clearly say's Sterling on the headstock ,neck plate and bridge...... All the other listings for the same type of guitar clearly say Sterling.... I am not knocking Sterlings ,I know they get great reviews .. It's just that the difference between the new price of a sterling to a stingray is about £700 and I find this listing dishonest ..

HowieBass Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Well that's about 2/3 the price of a new Sterling Ray34 so I reckon it's not a bad deal... Quote
Grangur Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Agreed, its not a bad deal. Its no different to the vast number of people who sell a "Fender bass" that is actually a Squier. I can't say I like the practice. Quote
Ktmman Posted April 12, 2014 Author Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) I am not saying its a bad deal , I am saying its misleading.. Its a bad deal if you think you are getting an EB Stingray Edited April 12, 2014 by Ktmman Quote

And not being a Fender or EB expert I wouldn't buy either one on ebay anymore as there are too many fakes about. Quote

topo morto Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 it's not a 'Stingray', so you can report them if you wish. Report > Listing Practices > Search and browse manipulation > Misleading title. Quote
