Sunburnt is hilarious, wouldn’t mind a look at it...

Somewhere between 1969 and 1976, possibly. Mocha brown? Should be a black guard.

70s style headstock logo. Maybe a misprint and should read 72?

Could be. It's only at £50... will be interesting to see what it goes for.

[Cat Burrito]

Seems completely legit to me.

Quite, I wouldn't. Just noticed the position of the thumb rest - would date it to around 1974-1976. If genuine.

If I lived local, I'd be going to have a look at that.*

*Not that it's possible anymore, thanks to eBay's insane new contact rules.

I did not know that. How are you supposed to do cash on collection? It's collection-only.

[Happy Jack]

It's OK Mark, their Restraining Order only applies to Michael ...

Once you've won, you can exchange contact details.

But... say you're thinking of bidding a few grand on a 1963 Jazz. Quite sensibly, you'd probably want to visit the seller to take a look at it first.

You can't do that any more. It's crazy.

[/quote]there must be a way round it, can't you just message them via ebay on the pretext of asking a question, and arrange it? I can see why ebay don't want you to do it, people do the deal and the seller just withdraws the item and avoids selling fees, not that I would do anything like that

There's a pretty solid filter in place that detects any attempt to exchange contact details. I was up against it recently, and in the end I had to upload an image with 'Please call me on xxxxxxxxx'.

Apparently image recognition is on the way, and if eBay catch you in the act, they'll come down hard.

IMO it all feels a bit desperate. They're losing the plot.

My account is currently suspended after I tried to send my phone No to a seller who posted very little info about an item they were selling. No weight, hardwear info or info on the timbers on a custom bass - I was hoping to discuss the item before bidding - Ebay not understanding about this and read me the riot act.

This surprises me. eBay have given sellers a hard time for years, but usually find in favour of the buyer. If they're going to alienate everyone, they'll very quickly have no business. eBay used to have a community feel, but it would seem greed has got the better of them.

The ebay mobile app has a much less advanced filter... I've many a time made successful contact via sending a message that way. Sending any contact info via the main eBay website in nigh on impossible.
