Paul Cooke Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 strange how everything in their "shop" is brand new and/or sealed Quote
~tl Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 "Lost" as in "Lost off the back of a truck" maybe? Quote

markytbass Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 How do you leave something that size on a bus, if it was left on a bus and didn't fall off the back of it. Quote
The Burpster Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Guys, I think you are taking their ebay name a bit literal.... City bid is an auction house.... they will get allsorts of peeps bringing stuff in to auction off by whatever means will bring teh best return for teh company. If thier primary client group is not musos then they would be right to suggest to thier client that they try to sell on gleebay. Judging by the new Yamaha kit they are selling I would suggets that this is a bankrupt shop stock clearance or police seized property that has not been reclaimed. Or indeed insurance company property that they have paid out on as part of a claim . I would doubt very much that it was lost property and would be alomst 100% sure its not [u]hot [/u]property as this would destroy the companies business profile and reputation which for auctioneers is pretty damn important.

waynepunkdude Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I left my Fender on a train once I was going out of my mind luckily enough I got it back within the hour. Quote
Trace_n_bass Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) I used to work in IT, and sometimes used a big mains power tester. It consisted of a hard case with an LED display on it, a few buttons, and a good few wires. I couldn't have made it look more like a suitcase bomb if I tried! I left this on a train at Liverpool Street in London. Luckily I got back there before they blew it up! Edited October 7, 2008 by Trace_n_bass Quote
