Default EBay dumbasses.

Here's a thread for sharing eBay auctions you have found. I would like this thread to be primarily a place for us to laugh (or shake our heads and cluck our tongues at) the fools out there.

This isnt' the place for reflectoporn, for YOUR auctons, or for cool/desireable/curious stuff. This is the place to show us an auction where the seller comes off like a complete idiot, whether through lack of product knowledge, huckster/slimeball tactics, bad spelling/typing, unreasonable expectations, etc.

Those "My GOD, what did he DO?" relic jobs we've been talking about lately would go in this thread nicely.

Please, please, please copy-n-paste as much as you can here, including pix if possible. Bring it here to us when you can. First of all, some of us are handicapped with dialups and secondly, if you paste it here it will be around a lot longer for future readers to enjoy.

If you can't post pics, OK ... but at least give us a hint. Instead of a link with just the words "Check THIS out!", please at least say something like "Click HERE to see some guy who thinks a Squier Affinity is rare and collectible!"


I'm sure THIS thread could provide us with plenty of entertainment. I hope you think so, too.

I'll start.

STRAT AND TELE NECKS

"You are looking at two brand new Electric Guitar necks that came off of a new statocastor and telecator guitars. ...The necks already has a nut installed and has the tuners still on it. ..."






The guy has 2 necks from those S101 cheapo Strat and Tele copies from 10 or 20 years ago.

My favorite part: "statocastor and telecator"

I saw one once, a 60's japan cheapie in just horrible condition. no puickups, and it had been through a flood and there was sludge on it. Why anyone would sell it is beyond me
