evilLordJuju Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Just listed my 2000 Rickenbacker 4003 on ebay. It is in really nice condition. It is up for 7 days, though I will pull it with the right offer here. I am only selling this because i've fallen for something else on ebay... and I REALLY want it. See the ebay page for pics.

OldGit Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Yummie bass mate .. Don't actually use Parcelforce to ship it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi mate, i know this may seem a stupid question but on the ebay listing it says left handed but the pictures make the bass look right handed... So which is it =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't tell you this at the PO and are happy to take money off you for "enhanced insurance" that has absolutely no value. Lovely bass by the way - I'm guessing it's actually right-handed, not a lefty. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilLordJuju Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ok, thanks people. Yes you eagle eyed people are right. This IS right handed, and i've asked ebay to upddate the listing - it seems to be one of the things you can not adjust yourself. I am not sure who I normally send my guitars with - I take them to the Royal mail depot... is that not parecleforce? So who do you all ship with? This really is a nice condition bass, with a reasonable reserve. Damn ebay for taunting me with other basses...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that there's a whole thread on couriers with a scoring system, goodness and badness..

KevB Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If you do next day delivery with Parcelforce they increase the insurance to 200 but that seems the max they will do for a musical instrument. It's down to whoever buys it to decide if they want to take the risk. I recently sold an expensive bass and sent it parcelforce as the buyer was happy to take the risk. Arrived perfectly OK.

The £150 musical instrument insurance limitation is hidden well away on theiir website under "wrapping guidelines" and is only known to a select few PF employees, mostly in the claims department. You don't need to take any risk if you use Post Office Special Delivery. Tons of cover and the same price as parcelforce and they take it in at the post office too ..

Last couple of shipped sales I've used www.Interparcel.com, click on "Titan" option, selectable insurance level (up to a grand I think), fine about shipping musical instruments so long as it's in a box, cheap, reliable. I'm sure there's been a couple of threads about recommended couriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to speak to someone at PF about it though, the website is lacking detail in the right places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
