I noticed the option to put in an offer, so I have popped a cheeky maximum offer of £1.22 for it, although reviewing the images I might be struggling to see a return on my investment!

Bassassin Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Wonder why he's now decided it's 80s rather than 70s? That's the only bit that was right in the previous ad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreadBin Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Maybe he's hoping someone will think it's an MIJ Fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blisters on my fingers Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 How does a seller like this have 100% feedback ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 ebay don't seem inclined to take it down (illegal use of logo, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd only take it down on that basis in response to a complaint from the brand owner. Ebay doesn't know it's not a Fender any more than half the people who've bid on the various listings for it do.

Aidan63 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Pulled as no longer available then relisted again https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312422909660?_trksid=p2471758.m4704 and already bid up from 99p to £255 in less than one day, something very wrong going on - though the bidders all appear to be different to when it made £375 but sale wasn't completed this sort of thing makes Ebay look stupid, surely they realise that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zander71 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I seen this a few days ago. Some bad Jap lawsuit copy from the 70s/80s. And in attrocious condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 His other feedback is all for bric-a-brac and antiques. I suspect he hasn't a clue what this is worth (about £3) and is trying his luck. Note he doesn't describe it as a Fender - obviously covering his @rse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If he wants to cover his @rse then he'd better off with a Bongo ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreadBin Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 He may claim not to know, however many of us have told him exactly what he is selling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 If I remember the first listing did describe it as a Fender. That was pulled & it was relisted after the "error" was pointed out by several on here. So even if he doesn't know what it is (which he does, because I told him exactly what it is), he knows perfectly well what it isn't. Interesting that it's "sold" previously, been relisted and immediately bid up unfeasibly high for a beat-up copy. IMO quite obviously shilled to buggery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Is there anything to stop someone using his photo and title and making their own listing explaining exactly what the bass is to warn woukd be buyers? Ebays algorithms would suggest the new listing if you'd viewed the scammy one. Obviously put a rediculously high price and explain why. Ebay aren't doing anything to stop this so maybe the public should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
