Twincam Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 [quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1446551653' post='2900196'] Why don't we at Basschat all club together and buy the thing? It could be some sort of bizarre/sick mascot. [/quote] I am up for donating some funds. And I think it will be amusing to pass it around its buyers and generally take the piss out of it. Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1448643211' post='2917132'] Given that they're making some new episodes of The League of Gentlemen, perhaps they might buy it as a prop. [/quote] Creme Brulee's new direction? Quote
Annoying Twit Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Relisted. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TENNESSEE-15-STRING-EXTENDED-RANGE-BASS-/291630566887?&_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6456&autorefresh=true Only £10,000,000 this time. Bargain! Quote
spectoremg Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Right all you eBay hawks, joking apart, WTF is going on with this sale? A piece of crap at a ridiculous price. Apart from the guy actually being mental, is there some kind of fiddle going on?* *No 15-string fiddle jokes please. Quote

Annoying Twit Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 [quote name='roman_sub' timestamp='1449225338' post='2921658'] £0.99 offer made! [/quote] I offered £35. Quote
Shabbs Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 [color=#ff0000]The offer level was met previously by three buyers who then didn't bother to pay for it.[/color] - [size=4]Previously 2, now by 3 buyers, how inconsiderate.[/size] Quote
roman_sub Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Just declined seller's counter-offer of £1,250. Phew, that was stressful, felt my life flash before my eyes, in the fear that I would accidentally click on "accept" and not "decline". Quote

[/quote] So you offered 99p, and he came back with twelve hundred quid. I've seen some haggling in my time, but that's got to be a record! Quote
Annoying Twit Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I would have counter counter offered £1.23 EDIT: I received a counter-offer too. But, my counter offer from him was several times higher than yours. I raised my offer by 8 pence. Edited December 4, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote
roman_sub Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Haggling made all the more impressive given current interplanetary asking price. How much is the ticket to the Moon, on that Virgin shuttle? You can probably travel there, buy a decent Fender, play it in space, and have a few bob left over. Or you can meet the asking price.

Annoying Twit Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 He has made me another counter-offer. He reduced his price by £1000, so I raised my offer by 5p in return. Quote
Twincam Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Hi still think we (basschat) should club together and buy the thing pass it round laugh etc etc. I might even do some luthiery on it haha. Each by member who bought it should add something to it. As someone said before make it a weird trophy Quote
yorks5stringer Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Yes, I agree , if we all chip in, say 10p each, that should buy it..... Quote

[/quote] Might have to be tad more than that I would think. Obviously your pricing for this item is correct though lol. Quote
SICbass Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 The idea does have appeal, I just resent giving the cheeky b#gger of a seller the dosh. He clearly doesn't care one way or the other as long as he get's the cash. Having said that, his varied responses to our diverse joke-offers, do seem to indicate a sense of humour there... Quote
spectoremg Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Maybe it's all just self perpetuating, his raison detre? Quote
Beer of the Bass Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I don't think he has any intention of selling it, I just can't imagine that his motivations are as comprehensible as that. If you accepted his offer and sent the money I'm sure he'd still find a way not to go through with it. Quote
SICbass Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Here's us all pondering/laughing/postulating about him, maybe he's on BC and we're all unwitting guinea-pigs in some behavioural studies experiment on crowd behaviour ;-) Edited December 7, 2015 by SICbass Quote
Matt P Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I'm wondering how much he paid for it? either he bought it for peanuts and wants to make a huge profit or he actually paid many hundreds for it and is now trying not to lose all his money, I think it's worth 150 quid tops and that's mainly for comedy value, unless he finds some poor sucker that's taken in by his sales banter then he's stuck with it forever. if we do end clubbing together to this then I'm in for £20 provided that it ends up in flames (with a youtube video for proof) it would be worth it to never see it again Matt Quote

We should bass relay it between buyers then do something amusing too it. Spray paint it gold and give it as a yearly basschat trophy for some daft reason. Or get together burn It pagan style. Quote
