Is this left or right handed? Please help

[Bassboy78]

Hi. I was thinking about buying this cheap bass guitar on eBay. The seller says the bass is actually a left handed guitar, but just strung the other direction to suit right handed players. I am not certain he is right, so need some advice. He told me he was certain it was a lefty bass when I asked, but I don't want to get it wrong. Is he right, because he said he has played for years? - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Peavey-Milestone-III-Electric-4-String-Bass-Guitar-Right-Handed/202541283424?hash=item2f2866b860:g:UegAAOSwS4VcFkKF:rk:1:pf:0

That's a right handed bass strung right handed

And he's never sold anything on eBay before, I'd steer well clear

Thanks. He was actually really rude when I said I thought it was a right handed one. Told me he’s played for 10 years and knows what he’s talking about.

It says "right handed" in the title and URL.

The guy must be on glue!

It's a right handed bass. The horn and tuners are at the top and the cutaway and pots are at the bottom. Exactly the same as every other right handed bass (excluding some weird styling)

That’s not the issue. The description in the main part of the listing says it’s actually a left handed bass body, restrung to suit right handed. That is not correct.

I agree. Definitely a righty, and I agree with Beedster and wouldn't buy from this seller.

Please share his reply just for comedy sake? Golden rule of buying from eBay: even the slightest hint of rudeness - whether it's in the listing, the feedback or replies to message - is usually a very bad sign and tends to predict unhappy outcomes, especially if you have to return the item.
