I pushed the boat out a bit with a slightly higher 2-digit offer, and got counter-offered £850. Somehow, I've resisted the temptation.

I'd say two digits was an appropriate response!

Clean tidy routing! Those pickups will be a bear to adjust, as he's crowned the height adjuster screw heads. Pilot holes? Wazzat?

Why buy a new one for £110 when you can have a butchered one for £140?

It's back and he's taking bids:

It's currently at £10.50 - I stuck in a bid because it would be worth it just to [a] strip the parts and sell them and [b] destroy the rest and post the photos here :D :rolleyes:

Bass Relay with it would be hilarious. Every custodian has to perform a pointless modification to the instrument.

Now that is a great idea!!!

Up to £31 - must be an all time high... to be honest, I'm a bit put off by the routing around the pickups, kind of lets down the whole thing really :P

Who outbid me?

EDIT: I bid a few more times, but auto-outbid each time. I'm not bidding £50 on that thing, I'm out.

Message him and say you could get a Deco for £50............!

I bet that he is bidding against himself.

I thought that. He's so convinced that it's worth a lot of money that I can see him letting it go for the £200 that I wildly, very wildly, guesstimate that it would actually go for if the auction ran properly.

My thoughts were that he's probably put in a high (e.g. £800) shill bid as a hidden reserve.

The other alternative is that there may be auction wreckers who think it's funny to use a throwaway account to bid the price way up then not pay.

I went a bit higher than you, AT. Definitely not three figures though. And not only is it up to three figures (before the decimal point), the first digit is 3.
