Cairobill Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Yes, clocked that one before - The paint job looks amateur no?... Quote
TheGreek Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 "Re-listed due to non paying time wasters" - currently £1100. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/121362244326 Quote
Kev Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) He seems like a very angry person. There is something about the whole listing I don't like...can't decide what though, other than its general angry tone. I also don't like that it has sold (relatively cheaply) twice and yet it is still up for sale, despite his reasons... Edited June 17, 2014 by Kev Quote
chrismuzz Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Selling for a living, I can tell you it's bloody frustrating sometimes! Not an excuse for such an off putting listing but it's at least understandable! Quote
tauzero Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1403028106' post='2479050'] He seems like a very angry person.

I also don't like that it has sold (relatively cheaply) twice and yet it is still up for sale, despite his reasons... [/quote] I can see that the first paragraph is sort of angry, and the last one seems to have been added in frustration at people asking him why the sale fell through, but the chunk sandwiched in between those two paragraphs doesn't seem to be at all angry. I'd be more concerned that he played with some members of Dire Straits yet doesn't know how to spell the name of the band, unless he's referring to a tribute band called Dire Straights... Quote
Cairobill Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Is it me or does the black paint job look really terrible and home made. Almost matt black in appearance? Maybe it's one for Paul Herman, a sander, and a new colour... Quote

gelfin Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 He could have offered it to the second highest bidder as "second chance" if that bidder was serious he would have sold fine. Quote
UglyDog Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Well, it's sold once more. Let's see if it pops up again... Quote
chrismuzz Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 If it does, I've half a mind to win the auction and see how angry he gets when I start haggling Quote

[/quote] I agree his tone is a bit angry but if he has been messed about as much as he claims he has I can kind of see why anyway the bass sold for £2,555 in the end Quote
