Centaur with less than a day to go on ebay

@stonevibe So when it is sold, how are you going to cope knowing your tone is going to be shite for the rest of your days?

But my 'tone' is already shite...

Besides I like dirty fuzz box sounds.

I am no 'blooze' player.

Had some great 'cash' offers off of Ebay as well and have 90 plus people watching the auction. I suspect to see what it sells for.

I'm a little suspect of the two people bidding on it at the moment as both have zero to little feedback on Ebay. So have a feeling this could end up being re-listed or sold privately to be honest.

Aye, I saw those two and felt much the same. Having your two lead bidders with a total of 1 feedback report between them is a bit odd.

My all-time gear regret is selling my silver (non-horsey) one for £300 when that was the going rate.

One of them is local and the other has told me he already bought one Klon and would be interested in buying mine if the Ebay deal falls through.

Either way its all a little suspect as they both have such low feedback scores.

I would be more inclined to sell it to someone face to face local in cash than go through the whole PayPal/Ebay.

The risk with PayPal and eBay as you know is not only the fees, it is the people who will try and con you. You might get people changing their mind and try and return it as broken. You might even find some guy trying to swap it for an Arc Effects or something ! PayPal normally side with the buyer does not help the matter.

Right now, if it's between say £1500 on Ebay vs £1200 cash. I'd take the cash even though in theory you are getting another 10% less.

@stonevibe, I'd love to know how this pans out.

I'm hoping it's an amazing investment success story for you!

I'd pull the sale.

But I think it is too late to do so now.

If the buyer seems dodgy send em one of these as a test!

Joking aside I hoep it all works out for you

I guess the question mr @stonevibe is how much did you buy it for?

Heartfeltdawn · December 2014

Nobody really buys a Klon. A Klon buys you and owns you.

£199

Wow...klon is a better investment than property!

Well done, sir.

Did you get it "retail"? Because that's about what I'd expect a new klon to go for, maybe even a tad more bearing in mind the box and custom knobs and stuff.

stonevibe · December 2014

No I bought it used in a shop.

It had a previous very famous owner and they were selling it for him on commission.

You should have mentioned that in the auction !

DesVegas · December 2014

Was it . . . Rolf Harris?

samzadgan · December 2014

Are we all safely assuming that some of those £1000+ bids are not from people on this forum?

Got a feeling I may have to re-list it anyway, as the guy winning has zero feedback and the other guy behind him has a feedback score of 1...

So figure this Klon isn't going anywhere to be honest.

But there are 100 watchers, so maybe some nutter will bid higher than these two dubious Ebayers.

Plus, I haven't got any provenance to prove its previous ownership, so it isn't worth the hassle of trying to prove it.

stonevibe · December 2014

I just found this pic.

Back when I was a two Klon man or Mr Tone...

They both sounded the same, I just kept the older one as it was such a low serial number.

Howdy, Stranger!
