warwickhunt Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 It's just an unbiased observation/piece of advise but if were you I'd pull it off ebay. At £1700 on ebay if someone places a single bid and wins it you'll pay a minimum of £170 fees (new min 10% fee) and if they pay via paypal it'll hit you for those fees as well (is it 5% or similar?). Not trying to haggle or knock you down, that is just a simple observation, just in case you weren't aware of the new fee structure.

I see what you're saying, but in the end I would get (give or take a few quid) what I would get here on BC after having been ground to the bone by haggling and the long waiting game...LOL

[/quote] Thanks for the heads up. I am really surprised I have missed that, normally I read religiously every communication from eBay or PayPal. Unless the buggers have not told me, of course... I have now raised the price accordingly. To be honest, [color=#ff0000][u]I am inklined to withdraw it for good if unsold[/u][/color], and keep it even if I have not much time to play it, because from Wed 15th Oct I will not be available for shipping for a while. So [u]if somebody here on BC still wants it on Sunday night at the current BC price, here's the last chance[/u]. [u]And if you want a shipment for Tue 14th Oct, immediate payment is required. Otherwise we are talking November.[/u] Thanks everyone for pointing out the issue. Claz Edited October 10, 2014 by Apothem

I have wondered about that too, but the tort one is the only pickguard I have (and it protects the original paint from nails/slapping, or a pick). And would somebody prefer a transparent one or a white pearloid? I'll leave the choice to who's next, I am sure Roger can help in some way: I have spoken to him in NY a few years ago and he's a top bloke, really caring for his customers.

Apothem Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) 6 months, a price NEVER seen before for a Sado NYC, 6300 views... and not a lick?!? That scratchplate must be really awful then... LOL With the money saved on this 3.8kg beauty you can have a trasparent or white pearloid one from Roger Sadowsky in NYC.
