Sad but funny attempt to sell a bass

lolmont · #1 02-13-2013, 02:39 AM

Was looking up telecaster basses when I saw this.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-Telec...item3a7e484cd6
Looking at his other items he uses girls to have you click on all his gear. Smart but sad haha

He can put all the women in the world in the picture and he still won't get a nibble at that starting price.

What Telecaster bass?

That ad is 1000X better than the bass by itself (at the current price).

I like the custom vox bass he also has for sale better . For the life of me, I couldn't look past the second picture!?!?

Would be better if he just showed the bass. The amateur-porn photography and underage-looking model do nothing though no doubt some cretins will race to pile in their opinions on her in due course.

Maybe the girl comes with the bass? Ebay becoming a human trafficking site perhaps?

She asked for it by agreeing to appear in the ad. I have no sympathy for that obviously stupid, average looking girl.

Using poor quality, amateur photos of a partially clothed, unremarkable looking girl in a run down, cluttered house in a feeble attempt to draw attention to an overpriced guitar you're selling? Really??

smcd · #14 02-13-2013, 06:47 AM

Good God.... all his ebay auctions are like that. There's a photo of him from the neck down holding a guitar part. He's wearing a Canadian Tuxedo...

Tactless as ever. Using your principles you look like a fat bitter virgin.

"Tactless"??!! Good buddy, I'm being NICE! If I wrote what I really thought, you'd burst into tears!

That could be the same character, but doubtful.

The same guy has been doing this for at least 3 years with different (ahem) models displaying their wares.

Wares.

And believe it or not, this model is a 10 compared to some of the past wares.

Nice pair of tubes on that redhead!

I wouldn't burst into tears. It is possible I would think even less of you as a human being though, which would really require something special on your part.

Don't worry, I'm quite used to aspergers-riddled hyper-masculine idiots on the internet thinking their opinion is law. I've seen you in all those threads Gibson EB-2 basses are mentioned spouting your opinions where they are not needed.

Oh, give me time, my Calvinist buddy....

I hate to bear bad news, but this is a message forum. You know, a place where wee lads can discuss things aboot theer basses. 'tis not up t' a bonny lad like you t' decide what opinions are needed.

I own an EB-2. Do you?
