Don't know if the link works but there is a Charvel i have been given a second chance offer for £162, it looks like Davey's Charvel.

Oui, Non?

go for it.

don't know the model offhand, as i'm not very familiar with the toothpaste series, but for 162 quid, snatch it!

though i'd ask for better pics first

should be a Charvel 475 Deluxe

master vol, master tone, active boost knobs
looks like it

though the pickups are NOT active, they're passive, and have an active mid boost... the color is either fire crackle (orange-ish .. or desert crackle, which is more of a faded yellow sandy colour)

fun guitars

I asked for pics beforehand and he said he couldn't put anymore on because it would be too cost effective or something, but he says it's good working order and everything is good apart from the words Jackson is rubbed off the single coils.

again - did yu win?

Crazy_Joe · « **Reply #5 on:** November 26, 2006, 09:49:46 PM »

Technically yes, i have the Second chance offer which means it is myn if i want it at the price i last bid. I'm guessing the other guy didn't want it so he gave me the offer.

I have replied yes to him but he has not replied back.

Be very careful with these second chance offers. Many times the offer appears to come from the original seller, but the link to pay goes to another account.

Make sure the offer came thru ebay - should be in your my messages folder on your ebay account
Someone tried to scam me on a Kramer with a second chance offer- wasnt the seller and was sent to me via my email
Only trust messages that appear also within ebay- not only externally

The guitar is a model 475 and has a schaller trem so it's nice

Especially if your bid didnt meet the reserve preice - gotta be a scam!!!!

Crazy_Joe · « **Reply #9 on:** November 26, 2006, 10:02:21 PM »

Yeah it was an ebay message. This is sounding good!

FELINEGUITARS · « **Reply #10 on:** November 26, 2006, 10:03:35 PM »

So the message was in your my messages on ebay as well as on your email account?

mikeluke · « **Reply #11 on:** November 27, 2006, 09:58:13 AM »

Agree with above message - if the 2nd chance offer is not in your eBay message folder then it is a scam!! I had one recently just like this.

If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is! :-)

Yeah, in those circumstances I'd arrange to collect. The picture thing was a bit strange too.He could easily have emailed you pics with no cost :?

FELINEGUITARS · « **Reply #13 on:** November 27, 2006, 12:44:40 PM »

Seller has zero feedback and this profile has only been up since 19th Nov
I would be very wary of this
ould just be new to ebay but could be dodgy too

Crazy_Joe · « **Reply #14 on:** November 27, 2006, 12:59:55 PM »

I just looked and the second chance offer is not in my messages, though all the ebay format and layout was on the email.

Hmmmm....
