Even more curious, if one is not interested in the type of instrument in the thread title,why click on it? And then, why take the time to post a useless comment about said instrument? I've never even held a Fodera, should I go post a review of one in the Fodera club thread?
Just, yeah. You know. Because.
 
So out of 103 buyers, only 4 have received their basses? That doesn't jive at all with the numbers I've seen on here.... but it's certainly not a good sign either ;-)

Well if they are coming direct from China, they wouldn't have them yet. The 2 I ordered are coming from China and show that they are shipped but it will be a while before they get to me.

I ordered from the robhe account.
 
I have a tracking number from daco5259 for my $17.99 bass!
My Tracking Number: 936128968109076555045
if you want to look it up on USPS.com Its going to Delaware and I live in North Carolina :( and eBay already disabled his account. I'm here to see if anyone actually receives an instrument (I still have one coming from New Jersey supposedly) Not just has a tracking number. We have already learned in this thread about daco5259 that I now need to request a Refund.

I use USPS tracking all the time but I get

936128968109076555045 doesn't seem to be a USPS tracking number. Please check the number and carrier and try again
 
eBay has removed Daco and his listings. Looks pretty solid like we've been had.

What was daco's review rating like? Did the seller have any history? Anyone know?

I ordered through the original guy, robhe. Robhe's reviews were generally good with a bizarre mix of fake positive and fake negative reviews in the end. Seemed safe but who on earth knows. I'm curious if daco's reviews were similar.

I order things direct from China and it's been my experience that for whatever reason, the package will sometimes appear stalled in China according to the tracking info, but will all the sudden show up as out for delivery. Usually I get my pkg shortly thereafter. No matter the outcome, it'll be entertaining to see how this all plays out.;)

I'll play.
Ordered one from doca, received shipping number. I checked on USPS, looked legit. Then received message from USPS that it was delivered. It was not. Contacted ebay. Refund in 3 days.
The suspense was fun but in the end... no $20 bass for me.

Great info. If you looked at USPS Informed Delivery, was the tracking number actually headed to your address?

They were generally positive but likely fake. He was pretty sketch but it was worth a shot IMO.

The Glarry name carries a premium!

If you are willing to buy the generic "Exquisite Burning Fire" version, they are $55.40 with free shipping from Dayton NJ.

Yeah, it would be nice if those 4 people would step up and post some details and pics.

With all the interest in these you would think that would have happened. Makes me wonder if some other TBers, who haven't even ordered one, made that claim just to mess with those who have.
