Subbeh Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Spotted the D stamp on the heel of several of the basses this guy is selling, mostly lefty stuff but if he is reselling the Thomann decorative stuff without informing the buyer then that seems like a really %&£$^$ thing to be doing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-LEFT-HANDED-FENDER-JAZZ-COPY/282054218869?_trksid=p5411.c100167.m2940&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140131123730%26meid%3Da47d42752f8c4bbbbc0b13a441818052%26pid%3D100167%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D13%26sd%3D282054226466 Edited June 18, 2016 by Subbeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldflows Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) I don't honestly blame him but it is a bit cheeky. Thats a £90 mark up for a deco which is a little steep. Now doing the maths i can see that you could buy the brand new ones shipped from Thomann for half the price of some of them which is a little crazy!

Subbeh Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't blame him for doing it but I do feel he should let buyers know if he bought them as decorative/damaged instruments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 If you look at the other basses he's selling you'll see the "D" plain as day. They stamp base of the neck or where the neck plate would be. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-5-STRING-BASS-WITH-ACTICE-PICK-UPS-WHITE-/282067187197?hash=item41ac83b5fd:g:GqAAAOSwbYZXWE5G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Subbeh' timestamp='1466256545' post='3074458'] I don't blame him for doing it [/quote] Why? These instruments were sold to him as Spares or Repair (equivalent), he is selling them as New Other, which whatever way you look at it is not correct. It is used, at best, as he is the second owner. Iv reported the listing posted, but doubt it will do any good. Edited June 18, 2016 by Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) He's selling them as 'New Other' which means he is not doing anything wrong in the eyes of eBay, although we know better in that he is not declaring they are decos anywhere.
