eBay shadey seller

Yup well aware of the tuning pegs not being changed, I also pointed this out to the chap in the list of what was not right with this guitar.

Be firm, clear but polite - you only want the full refund on this. Don't give him hope of a partial refund.

Gassage

I am no expert but looking closely you might want to check if that’s had a headstock repair,

i have been perfectly clear this morning in another message that only a full refund with him covering the carriage will be acceptable. 


@Gassage ;
i think you may well be right 

mikeyrob73

and this mornings update is 

" i can honestly say that i was not aware of any damage to the neck.
I have over 40 guitars and i have sold about 5 recently just because they had not been play regularly.
I am as disappointed as you.
There will also be an angry conversation with my luthier as I was almost 100% certain he said he installed burstbucker and no one ever mentioned damage to the neck."

Yeah, I thought the same. Maybe someone Relic'd the neck break like Gibson did on the Ace Frehley model

I guess the Aliexpress “contact us” page will be getting a bashing then..

mikeyrob73

Honestly, what kind of "luthier" doesn't notice a head stock break?

for all the slagging off ebay gets, it does have benefits.....for the buyer

Indeed @midlifecrisis ;
Regardless of his protests this bloke was just a chancer

What's the betting this reappears on eBay next week with the same description, same photos, and the words "relisted due to timewaster"?

It didn’t take an eBay listing for us to find out @mikeyrob73 is a time waster

Just pulling yer plums mate

Glad you got your moolah back, otherwise we could have got the boys to go round and “persuade him otherwise”

If he’s from N Ireland I’m pretty sure I’ve dealt with this seller before.  Going by his responses he could be a guy who used to post on fastfude and would get caught out regularly lying about gear he was selling.

Drop me a pm @Adam_MD ;

im not going to name and shame publicly yet. 

@Bridgehouse ain’t got nothing back yet just that he has agreed to return, heard nothing else since
