Yes, parts basses are a thing.
I would've thought GC wouldn't take one in used but maybe they will.
Maybe that was the error. They didn't know it was a parts bass when they took it in.

They take parts basses. I don't know how they verify what the parts are but they'll buy and sell them.
That's called displaying a sense of humor while doing a bit of CYA at the same time.
Cute little "in" joke for the actual musicians in the store. I like it!
They'll take in anything they think they can move - provided they can get it in for pennies on the dollar for what they'll sell it for.
I've even seen some of the cooler old toy instruments (e.g. an Emenee Electric Golden Pipe Organ) for sale in their used section that got snapped up for prices I never thought anyone would pay for them.
My local GC had a few of those oddball DaisyRock guitars. One butterfly and one heart shaped model. They were just putting them out in the used section as I walked in. Both were gone when I walked out of the store about 20 minutes later.
GC caters to all sorts. Having musicians as their target maket is proof enough they're not too fussy about who they deal with.

Wait for the final edit!
I freekin' hate these iPhones…
Especially on this website. The post button is so damn close to the emoticons that I accidentally hit post half the time I'm trying to insert one.
Come to think of it, I hate touchscreens for the most part too.

This is all that is available near me. Four stores in a reasonably large metro area and that's it. The Dean has been there for a while and so have the 5- and 6- string LTDs. I checked out the MIJ Soundgear for $600 and it was a little beat up. I sounded a little better than my sub $200 MIK Soundgear but no longer played as well.

A pet peeve of mine though has to be that the descriptions are non existent. If you're tryin to sell a used piece why not have the proper information about it.
most of the time on mobile i'm trying to like someones post and it pops up "why do you wanna report this post"Wait for the final edit!

As has been stated, it's on the tag so no spelling error. I did try to enlarge it to read the actual description on the tag but I can't quite make it out. Maybe someone else has some cool forensic tools like in the movies that can take a pixilated photo and make it crystal clear!
The smaller letters are about the return policy and we buy, sell and trade blah blah blah. There's no description. I guarantee no one in the store would have any info about what parts it's made of.As has been stated, it's on the tag so no spelling error.

That and the almost universally awful photo quality makes me skip GC online used listings 99% of the time. Not worth the trouble.
