"This amplifier is in fantastic used condition. It has only a few signs of wear or use, none of which impact on the health, playability or tone of the instrument."
Absolute bollocks. It's very heavily used, and pretty knackered - it may well still work OK as these amps are fairly bombproof, but it's *not* in "fantastic used condition" - in fact, I think it's the worst of any I've ever seen.
OK, they do go on to say "Please look at the photos thoroughly as they constitute part of the product description" - but there's still a big difference between that and an honest written description, which this is not.
It's also wildly overpriced - they don't even go for that in *genuinely* fantastic condition.

Im sure it’s the same place that was originally about half a mile away in a small shop in a less trendy part of town - they were more realistic price wise then / I’m guessing with the move to the bigger site they need to up their margins a bit but if they need to sell stuff at those prices to survive I’m afraid to say they won’t be lasting very long
This, though personally, if the seller has less than 99.5% positive from selling, only, not the combined feedback from both buying and selling on eBay, I won't go near them, I've been burned just too many times on eBay.
"This guitar is in fantastic used condition. It has only a few signs of wear or use, none of which impact on the health, playability or tone of the instrument."
"A few signs of wear or use"?! That Roland looks absolutely fucked. I'd say a price of £50 would be optimistic.
They don't mention whether or not it's been "electrically cleaned" like their guitars.
My mistake, it has been electrically cleaned.
Maybe that accounts for it's dreadful condition.
That's a good way to prioritise, for example, "My return hasn't been accepted yet but they've relisted it" and "This seller is using heavily misleading descriptions" - and actually being able to properly describe the level to which they're duping people.
In the case of my refund, technically they were still within eBay's prescribed timescales so no breach there, but nonetheless unprofessional and poor service
They accepted a return and I got my refund.
Looks like its back for sale - and from the photos it looks to have been repaired, but no disclosure of the repair
