Ebay Auction Descriptions

[DavidE]

DavidE: Looks to me that you were taking the high road in your emails. It almost sounds like all you were asking was for him to admit he understated the condition. You never even asked for a refund or anything!

I know, it's shocking to everyone here.

[DavidE]

And the latest from my new friend:

"hey do you even play guitar?do ebay a favor go to

your local guitar center & wank with the rest of your

wanker friends.i can see it now with your hi powered

camera look theres fingerprints on this 1.wait oh no

someone played this 1 oh my god!!!then you can play

stairway to heaven or eruption or try to anyway.

wanker p.s. i'll leave you a great feedback 2.how many

other ebayers have you screwed trying to save money

aswhole ---"

And my response:

Take a look at the feedback I've left for others. This is a rare thing for me.

I play. 3 gigs this weekend.

When I sell guitars I give detailed and accurate descriptions of the guitars I sell.

I probably wouldn't have left negative feedback for you if you hadn't been such an ass after the sale.

[DavidE]

This guy is a peach!

yeah right where do you play in your living room

with your wanker friends sipping wine with your

10,000 pixel camera taking pics of your guitars?to

tell you the truth when i bought this guitar i was a

little disappointed with the discription about the

ding on the side but i still left a pos. feedback back

because i played the guitar & forgot about the looks

-----------------------------------------------------------

im sure you were waiting for me to offer you $$

back.im sure youve done it before but other ebayers

were worried about neg. feedback so they gave in

anyone who looks at your pics of my guitar will know

what an ass you are.i would have rather given it away

then to sell it to you

Sorry guys, I hope I'm done posting, but isn't this a blatant admission since he says somewhere above that he used basically the same description from the auction where he bought the guitar???

Send him the pics of the "bikini clad mudwresting babes". No way your wife would allow that in the living room.

[MCChris]

I don't care if people are sick of me saying it.

eBay sucks.

No piece of gear—actually, NOTHING—is worth the possibility of a scumbag like this coming into your life.

[elduave]

Damn. What a douche that guy is. I need to put him on my blocked list.

[cmatthes]

That kind of response/reaction just CONFIRMS to me that the guy knows he's in the wrong.

Sounds oddly familiar...

[hamertek98]

Are ya gonna rent a Magnum and take another "vacation"? This time to CT? We want pics!

Joking aside, I've bought guitars listed in good condition that were in better shape. The edges on the headstock shoulda been disclosed, too. Dings and gouges are not the same.

[Willie G. Moseley]

Proclaiming that an instrument is "mint for its age" is like proclaiming that an overweight person is "wide for his/her height"

[jerseydrew]

I'd still call Amex and give him a hard time. He's got balls!

[DaveL]

I'd still call Amex and give him a hard time. He's got balls!

me too, I'd submit a paypal claim as well and put

in that you paid via amex, that'll probably get paypal's

attention. and save all your little emails from the prick...

[GusS]

automated outcome for paypal claim for misrepresentation = he'll have to return the guitar on his dime for a refund

[DavidE]

It's not worth my time or Karma to give the guy a hard time, though I could deprive him of his money for a while.

[edgar_allan_poe]

though I could deprive him of his money for a while.

...During the holidays...ouch. IMHO he deserves it for his reaction to your questions. We reap what we sow. F him

[Craig S]

David E, Let's talk about about those drums I bought from you! Just kidding of course. I've gotten to the point I hate dealing on Ebay anymore. I've had two sour amp deals in the last couple of years combined with the bite that Ebay and Paypal take out, it's just not that mych fun anymore. I use it as a last resort.
