Ebay mark7777_1
Hi, so it’s me here “the money hungry capitalist pig - seller) So the chap I bought it from had it listed on marketplace for £2500…I offered him £2300 which I don’t think is a lowball offer and he accepted it. When I went to collect it I got the feeling he slightly resented selling it or certainly was a more than a tad regretful. I’ve been there myself many times and it sucks…anyway……I told him that it was a massive stretch for me to buy it at the time and so he suggested if in future I needed the money he’d happily buy it back. Sure enough this week I contacted him offering it back to him for THE SAME PRICE I bought it for but he said as he’d just bought a Les Paul he was in no position to buy it, and so I put it on eBay at £3500 because, hey why not? Obviously I’m going to get knocked down on price and there will be fees involved. I’ve made big losses on guitars before (last one I lost over £2000 on) so you win some you lose some. I really don’t think I’ve done anything wrong at all and it was 100% never my intention to “flip” it. It is my dream guitar and I’d love nothing more than for my financial situation to improve allowing me to keep it. The really sh**ty thing here is the so called sob story which I didn’t give…I just told him that £2300 was the absolute most I could stretch to, which was the truth, and I thought it was nice that we shared a musical hero in Mike McCready. Kind of sucks to see yourself being mocked for that on a forum like this but hey. Regarding the photos…it just makes sense to use the ones Paul had supplied me with rather than taking the guitar apart again. I wasn’t trying to be a d*ck about it, it just seems like the obvious thing to do, no?
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
I’ve been on here about 3 times in 3 years. Unfortunately around 50% of the members are smug, know it all snobs which is a bit of a turnoff.
Fair enough.
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.
somewhat ironically one of the posters on this thread is a multi identity serial flipper both here and across various platforms.
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?
