Unsatisfactory ebay transaction warning

[neepheid]

This is not exactly a scam as I got a full refund, but I thought you should all be wary of the following bass/seller:

Yamaha BB614 Electric Bass Guitar Natural

eBay item number: 220585596566

He mentioned a missing knob, but described it as "excellent condition".

When it arrived, the blend pot was loose (as in rumbling around loose) and when I went to tighten it (hoping and praying that it was the only issue) I found this:



A plug in test reveals no output from the neck pickup. I have a good idea where the wire should go, and if that had been the only problem, I'd have fixed it and not another word said. Then as I inspected the body I found this:




Noting a scuffed area on the zip on the bottom of the gigbag it came in, I hypothesise that it had been dropped onto a hard surface while in the bag, causing an indentation from the zip and subsequent lacquer cracking.

Excellent condition? I think not. Anyway, he held up his hands (almost) immediately. I've been refunded and it's going back today but I thought you all should be aware in case he lists it again without modifying his description.

You're too kind Matt.
You missed out the bit where despite the outer box being in perfect condish said crapweasle originally claimed that the damage must have happened during transit and that he offered you a tenner as compo.
