alyctes Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I presume the seller is relying on eBay not noticing the "sale".... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980s-Steinberger-XL2-electric-bass-pics-/172118359025?hash=item28130dbbf1:g:BgAAAOSwzgRWvwZd "[font=georgia,serif]PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. This listing is about pictures of the Steinberger bass, not the bass itself, because being a private seller my maximum selling price is limited (if you are interested in the bass guitar, please don't bid). Pictured is an original Steinberger XL2 electric bass, unused except possibly for shop trials. It comes with its original strings, documentation, strap and soft case. No scratches and signs of wear. Some metal parts show slight opaqueness from 30+ years of age, but no signs of oxidation (please see pictures).[/font] [font=georgia,serif]Made in NY, USA (serial Number 6818). According to Steinberger's serial number database, this one belongs to the first series (please check it out here: http://www.steinbergerworld.com/serialdb.htm, second paragraph).[/font] [font=georgia,serif]A really rare opportunity.[/font] [font=georgia,serif]I am considering listing it soon, or accept the best offer. Can post in the UK. For more information or specific pictures please contact me. Inspection and direct collection are quite welcome.[/font]" Quote
discreet Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Looks like he's been rumbled, he's relisted the bass as... the bass. Quote
alyctes Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 I was [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]interested[/font] by this: "[font=georgia,serif]being a private seller my maximum selling price is limited " - [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]surely if he was selling a car (say an Aston Martin) it could go for more than any likely bass? (Sad though it is )[/font][/font] Quote
ras52 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Eh? So was the original idea to drum up interest so that someone would offer to buy the bass outside of eBay so that he could dodge the fees? #confused Quote
alyctes Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 That's what it looks like to me. But lots of people would call me paranoid. And I know who they are. All of them. Quote
Luulox Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Didn't realize they went for that sort of price, £3250! I always thought they were quite cheap! 😨 Quote
Luulox Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1456925099' post='2993571'] The £3250 is just for the photos ... [/quote] I like a man with ambition 😊 Quote
