on a negative note, my girlfriend recently bought me a 16ohm Vintage 30 and G12H off ebay, both from different sellers. The vintage 30 came but was an 8ohm model - emailed the seller to ask for a 16ohm one like she paid for, but he is ignoring me completely. The G12H just hasn't come at all; emailed him, and he too is ignoring me. I'm pissed off

Yeah, I've had some poor ebay buys, mainly fueled by gas and poor rational thinking skills.
My charvel (£80) was stripped and has been awaiting a respray for months, and it came with a crack in the neck. Could also be fake according to the JCF.

I picked up my 57 strat for $1,800 and also my 57 Tele for $1,500 in 2000 on ebay before people were really using it. Both were resprays and had changed pickups, but they were still worth a lot more than that then. I also picked up a custom shop firebird 7 for $1,100 because the guy had it advertised as a Thunderbird with 3 gold pickups!

On the other side of things, I put my MIM '57 style neck on ebay as I'm gonna go for a more modern one, and the starting bid was £50. Came in last night to find someone bidded it up to £132 :o :o !! I only paid £75 inc postage for it!
