Epic Fail - WWYD?

[tomjackson]

You're right, I've had a change of heart on this. I'll get the pitchforks, and we'll head round there :D

Bob, I'll be the first one here to say your absolutely spot on!

Who cares if the guitar is gigged or not, it's not like lying about how many miles a car has done. It's either got wear and tear or not, it looks good in the photo, so if you like it go and see it.  If you like it when you get there either buy it or don't.

If I sell a guitar I'm not going to be it's moral guardian for the rest of it's life, it's a plank of wood, nothing I can say about it changes the truth, it is what it is.  As long as it is a real Vigier and they are real Bare Knuckles in it.

Everbody chooses what truth to reveal when constructiong an advert, like when you you go for an interview do you think anybody here says 'yeah my hobby is sitting infront of the computer all day looking at guitars and masturbating' ?  No, they would say I'm a very keen musican and am working hard to create musical masterpieces in my spare time'

This forum is becoming very.....

But that's exactly what I do. Very badly  :)

Yeah but I missed it first time around!  Point taken though :D

[AndyR]

I thought they were going to go round there with pitchforks?

Was there a change of plan then?

it still should be the buyer's call. Who knows, if he'd told the truth about where he'd got the guitar, he might have got the £1800 (or whatever it was) he wanted for it.

I don't buy this "holier than thou" guff, either. Some things are fairly obviously wrong, and this is one of them (imo).

[tomjackson]

One things for sure, I've P!ssed on my chips if I want to sell anything in secods out for a few weeks!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

i was going to say something like that, but thought it'd be too rude.

It's on TGP for £1500 now.

HEY! Man, I'm late to this party... as a reward for reading through the whole thread I'm gonna beat the dead horse a bit!!

Well, you couldn't shift it at your price for ages and you had to change your price loads + it doesn't help that it got modded with those fugly as hell pickup rings... which you never disclosed as a mod, even after I p.m'd you and said I thought it was misleading to someone not savvy with Vigier iirc - so be fair you're not exactly mister transparent yourself  :P

Having said that, he's not going to sell it at that price. Especially now you pissed in his cornflakes  :lol:

I've bought a few guitars cheap - fallen out of love with them fast and sold them on at a profit.

Anywaaaay!! Just be happy you sold it, you tried long enough to get rid of it!

[Lew]

A sorry set of circumstances for sure. That guy overvalues his sales, he has tried to do trades with me on several items in the past. I quickly grew tired of dealing with him, his demeanour is pushy and he often sent me the same message on 3 or 4 forums as well as my email.
Unfortunately it's his right to charge what he wants.

I don't feel that what you're doing would affect my sale so don't worry about that :)
EDIT: After looking back at the deal I did with Lew for my Vigier, I'm shocked to find that I was mistaken over the price I paid, which means I've overvalued it in my listings. I feel like a bit of a tit now  :oops:

I didn't think your price was unfair considering it's condition and the deal we did - it's all swings and roundabouts + you know stuff that comes from you is gonna be 100% as advertised and your a ledg to deal with.

....when you you go for an interview do you think anybody here says 'yeah my hobby is sitting infront of the computer all day looking at guitars and masturbating' ? 

Speak for yourself... I've never made a secret of my hobby on this forum.

the rest of us just wish you would :lol:
