[JAUQO III-X]

The Fake Ritter at GC was sold yesterday for a little over $4100.

That bass was sold just yesterday for a little over $4100.

wow, I'm a prophet!

 

[Luckie]

Augh! Man what a rip.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Hmmm... Hopefully the new owner will check in here.

 

[nostatic]

all hail capitalism with no morals!

 

[JAUQO III-X]

Where are the GC supporters when GC need them?

 

[ClydeMcAllister]

Wow. What a shame. I feel bad for whoever dropped 4 grand on that thing.

 

[lfbassguy]

after looking at those pics, it sure doesn't look like a fake to me. i am no ritter expert but holy cow. how do you get ritter tuners? all the top notch hardware?

 

[Headless Llama]

I thought that this was being taken care of...

 

[FunkyMan]

There's maybe some legal proceed if the owner realize that, or something? it's a shame

I do think it's funny that we get nearly 300 posts, mostly of the "burn GC to the ground for their knavery!" variety, on the original thread, and all of 3 to say "OK" when they do the right thing in a relatively short time span.

Yet another way in which this story resembles the one about General Electric, the homeless bassist and the family reunion. A bunch of TBers called it fake early on. How many came back with a mea culpa when it all turned out to be true?

>< what a scandal. Poor GC for not realizing, poor consumer for buying a fake ritter, and again poor GC for being too unorganized that even when sent messages, they dont realize what they are trying to sell. I don't honestly think they would sell it if they knew 100%, its a big business and this one little message didn't reach them in time

 

[Rosebud]

Wowsa, scratches head...

They knew. There were enough contacts that there is very little doubt that they knew.

They knew. There were enough contacts that there is very little doubt that they knew.

You put too much faith into their communications system.
But either way, this incident shows that GC isn't run terribly well.

 

[Cantstandsya]

If someone contacts the buyer and lets him know it's fake, doesn't he have 30 days to return it to GC ?

 

[JAUQO III-X]

GC did know what was going on with that bass in regards that it may very well have been a fake.

 

[D.A.R.K.]

you are kidding me
that's so wrong it hurts.
with common public knowledge about this, how can
it possibly be legal?
gc should be sued and fined.
wonder if a lot of stolen property falls through the cracks....
i mean gaping holes,
in their morals and system...

Can I ask the source of this information?
