What a bell end...

Anyway is around £1500-1700 the going rate for a used one? I'd love one one day - there's a nice black one in the classifieds at the moment.

Good spot. That guy's a complete wanker.

R. Lower than a snakes belly. No problem with his business of buying cheap and selling high.

But he knows that isn't a new unplayed guitar...

Sure thang.

A while back there was a guy selling a Country Classic II on eBay, I made enquiries about it and had almost agreed on a deal when it sold.

Then almost immediately the guitar appeared back on eBay being sold by "Guitar Dept" for considerably more than originally advertised.

In fact it's still one of two he's got for sale about 8 months down the line.

I can't imagine he'll sell many at his over inflated prices...

Yeah, I've no idea how that guy sells anything at those prices.

If that appears on his facebook page, I'd very tempted to leave a comment...

I'm glad he's been revealed as a fraud, as I'd been looking at a couple of Rickenbackers he had for sale recently (I see a Rick in my medium-term future).

I just can't believe that anyone would bring ebay's flawless reputation for scrupulous honesty and integrity into disrepute in such a despicably blatant way.

This story must have a happy ending then (leave it) I'm selling a Ric!

My eyes have developed a filter to instantly not see any listing with crowns, notes, hearts or any other shite in the title

Are those pubes?

Sassafras

Just don't buy from him.
That'll learn 'im.

Meh. Mint is an ambiguous term. 

Moe_Zambeek

Just goes to show that any character other than letters or numbers on an eBay listing title is a warning to avoid.

This is the same guy who tried to stiff me over a guitar I was selling on eBay.  He negotiated a best offer on eBay for cash on collection terms then tried to pay with PayPal and asked me to UPS it to him.  The guy is a complete tool!

He wasn't too impressed when I cancelled the sale and refunded him, he tried telling me I was obliged to accept PayPal!! 

Sorry fella, if you ain't turning up in person with a wad of notes as agreed you ain't getting the guitar no matter what eBay 'rules' state.

Meh. Mint is an ambiguous term. 

Mint implies its untouched without marks, the SAS in question was noted as having marks from a guitar wall hanger therefore not mint.
