Accidental Purchase!

[RWP]

Aren't those the ones I see at Target for $49.00? Pretty cool!

 

[Sufenta]

Excellent starting point for a mod-project if nothing else. That's pretty funny...$5 as a joke and the joke comes right back on you!

Part of the deal with those things is the shipping. That's where they make their money. Pretty sure they all say "No pick-ups."

Yep, that's what it says in the details of that auction:

"No Pickups for Auction Wins. In you win an auction and are in this category, you will be charged a 15% relisting fee."

I'd pay the 15% and be done with it, or just don't pay and see if they forget about you. With over 122,000 feedbacks they might not bother wasting the time for a $2 item.

Nice how they say that THEY will insure your shipment for free. FYI, UPS/FedEx insures the first $100 of value for free, so there's nothing for this seller to insure.

Hey, I have a KSD Vintage 70's Jazz bass thay I'm about to list on eBay. I'm thinking of putting a Buy It Now of $1.99 to beat that price and shipping with free insurance of $550. What do you think?

I say put a Fender decal on it and mount a clock through the body.
It'll be the coolest clock around!

Hey even if its a crap bass, it will look good hanging on the wall! The clock idea through the pick guard is a great idea!
Cheers,
Rusty

smash it onstage.

Is it just my bad eyes, or does the headstock photo look like the D and G strings go under the string tree and then shoot off to the left quite drastically? HMM.

 

[ThatGermanDude]

that looks just like the one i have. my friend and me ripped the frets out and now i'm using it as a mess-around-on bass.

and i quite like the sound. gives me p-bass gas every time i pick it up

 

[topless_mike]

i would offer him the $5 and whatever he will profit from the shipping to squash the deal.

he has no reason to reject. he's still making what he would, and he still has the bass.

I'll buy it from you if you don't want it...

That's exactly what I did. Paid $8.58 and I'm done with it.

Time to try an SX now.

A lot of those massive import seller type "instruments" usually do that super cheap end bid with super high shipping costs. I think they do that to get around ebay fees (and possibly to try and screw some people out of some money that don't realize they are paying 100 times the amount in shipping as they are for the item)

 

[rfclef]

Well, you have options if it don't work... Mod it, smash it after playing Baba O'reilly, make a clock...

coulda been worse. You coulda accidentally won this http://cgi.ebay.com/TEENY-TINY-FEZ-...89QQihZ019QQcategoryZ1469QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
