It always helps your credibility when you can spell correctly. He couldn't even do that...

looks like he has been selling the idea in reference to many products and all his feedback regarding the info is pretty good, suprising.

Is it true, that some people are skilled enough to buy 6 string basses? Where do I buy the thing that tells me how to buy one of those?

Wow!

1.) Research the bass you want on talkbass.com
2.) Try out bass at your local Guitar Center
3.) If you like it move to step 4. Else go back to step 1 and repeat with a different bass
4.) Find bass online and save $$$ over that overpriced tag at G.C.
5.) Purchase via Credit Card or Money Order
6.) Wait 1 week for bass to arrive.
7.) Open bass up from package.
8.) Tune up and play on!

Now where's my money?

Bah, your methods aren't backed up the way bloosterx's method is. I mean, how can you beat someone who's positive feedback says things like:

Quote:
somewhat missleading. might try it. Thanks
Quote:
a bit misleading but good seller
Quote:
auction title is a bit misleading but good info. thanks! A+++++ ebayer!
Quote:
Recieved Quickly although not quite what I expected
Quote:
ok
And my favorite:
Quote:
WOW!!! VerY Good StRateGY!!! Definetly WORKZ!!!
THAT is once again, excerpts from the POSITIVE feedback.
