Did you mean 'god willing'? Or is god an anti-capitalist?

I like the relic work on this own - much more McReady-esque than the Fender signature version

somewhat ironically one of the posters on this thread is a multi identity serial flipper both here and across various platforms.

Oooh now that's put the cat amongst the pigeons. 

Mark, by that do you mean multi identities across all platforms or multiple identities on here?

If it's the latter then surely this needs reporting to the mods, as that's just shady behaviour.

Well now this thread took a bit of a left turn... If the original poster was offered the guitar back at the exact price paid before he decided to post this rant and make an attempt to sabotage the sale he seriously owes an apology to the current owner

This is 100% indeed what happened.

This always happens ... get a thread that mentions flipping and the whole thing turns into a shit show.

A combination of our processes, knowledgeable members, and sellers’ assessment of risk to their business, mean that it’s a rare occurrence. Imagine having a permanent announcement on the internet telling the world about deceitful tactics you’ve used. 

More common are threads like these, which end up pointing out the economics of buying and selling guitars.

This topic has been done to absolute death on here. Ffs. Bloke sells guitar to other bloke.  Other bloke then sells it (hoping for more perhaps) or in this case to cover the cost of said guitar.
in this market very little is going to sell for what “used to be the norm”

most of us will have taken hits selling gear, sometimes even breaking even and occasionally, god forbid, a profit.

once a sale is concluded it has fuck all to do with anyone else apart from the current owner what happens next.

thats his business and none of mine, or indeed anyone else’s, I wouldn’t deal with him personally but if he offers an amount that was acceptable then who wouldn’t be happy to take it?

For those of us who don't know, who is it?

No idea, and I doubt anyone's going to say.

I love this forum..comments about a guy who bought a guitar to sell on to make money in a time where everyone is struggling financially..all negative comments from people who have bought guitars and lost money on them all..
Well done to this guy for trying to make some money on a guitar rather than losing money on one..I know what I'd rather do.

See all you guys who are complaining about flippers, try it yourself and you'll make money and be able to afford the guitars that you really want but can't buy because "the boss" will find out about it..ffs grow up guys.

WELL DONE - I HOPE HE GETS HIS FULL ASKING PRICE!

MON THE FLIPPERS!

EBay does hold your money for a month now FYI. I’ve sold a guitar and two pedals recently and all three had the 30 hold. Also worth mentioning that if you allow collection but they pay via eBay you still have to honour the 30 money back guarantee (which I suppose is fair enough if it’s something electronic, but with guitars I if they inspected it and were happy then a return shouldn’t be an option).

None really. You own the Guitar Trade Centre in Glasgow so I imagine you are busy running that.
