40hz Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This has to be, hands down, the biggest rip off I think I've ever seen. It's beyond chancing, beyond cluelessness, beyond performance art. Absolute chancing gits! Do they not think somebody looking for a Wal and having that sort of money to spend isn't going to know, within 10,000 paces, this is as much a Wal as I am a Peruvian Parrot named Pavel. Lawd above!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumple Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I know nothing about Rickenbackers apart from you can't sell them on BC but nearly £22k for a 1991 CS model seems an insane price. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164548021929?hash=item264fd38ea9:g:jAkAAOSw21pfw~v- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they usually look very good for the money he has managed to make the Bongo even uglier with this one which is quite an achievement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a couple of things being sold by them now and didn't think the prices looked horrendous? Are they to be avoided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen a bundle of things easily two or three or four times what they would go for here, Japanese stuff 2-3 times what it would cost total to import from ishibashi …. And I saw one item which was probably priced about right. so do a bit of looking around … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
