Shhhh!!! I'm hoping to snake that one, depending on the weight (hoping the seller will get back to me with that info).

Any other Concert V owners here able to say what yours weigh? Thx!

 

[Chowderboots]

Woah...now that's nice! Congrats to whoever snags it!!

 

[amimbari]

this is why I HATE ebay....did you all see what that sneaky idiot seller just did?

ok someone won it for 305, fine...but

here's the relist!!!!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:VRI&item=250392157070

someone told him he could get 700 <<< and he pulled it and did just what he said he would do ( in his first ad )

relist it with a higher price

all I can say is... whatever

 

[bongomania]

Yeah, he's a jerk. I was exchanging a few emails with him and he pretty much said he was going to do that. I asked him not to, and advised him of his obligation to the high bidder, but he did it at the last second anyway. I was right there at the last 10 seconds, too, and he literally closed the auction within the 10 seconds before the auction time was up, so my bid didn't even go through. I bet whoever was the high bidder at that time is pissed as a mofo right now though.

Anyway I am the opening bidder on the relist--even if he's an a-hole, I still want his bass.

 

[amimbari]

well, ya bongo-m, problem is...that thing IS worth 700 if it is in the condition described, but it SURE would have been a good deal for 300 or so...

 

[rustynuts]

Looks like it went to the end of its time and he didn't cancel it. Starting time: Mar-15-09 14:42:45 PDT, ending time: Mar-18-09 14:42:45 PDT. Three days to the second. Apparently he has no intention of honoring the sale though.

My question would be, if you have a cash offer of $700, why would you list it at $500. Seems the guy is full of......

Good luck bongo.

 

[bongomania]

Again, acknowledging the guy is a steaming pile, but his re-list had a BIN of $700 and an opener of $500. I decided to take the opener on the odds that if nobody was fighting hard for it at the end of the first auction, maybe there'd be minimal competition at the end of this one, and I can score it closer to 5.

OTOH I wouldn't be too surprised if Ebay shuts him down for a rules violation, wrecking my odds completely.

 

[rustynuts]

You're probably safe from eBay, they move at a snail's pace on things like that. If it's not out and out fraud anyway. And as much as eBay spouts that "your bid is a legally binding contract" I've never see them enforce it in the 11 years I've been using the site.

Logic would seem to be on your side this time since no one wanted to go much over $300 before. But then, this is eBay we're talking about. Good luck!

 

[amimbari]

ya bongo, what rusty said. I hope this time around, it's yours

 

[Chowderboots]

That is one sick bass. Best of luck to you, Bongomania! I regret the time I let one slip away from me. Make Chowder prouder hahahahaha

 

[buzzguy]

Awesome pics, guys! Reminds me of the MIJ Futura EX I bought in the early 90's! My first "good" bass...really regretting having it painted, and then sold. Be nice to have it around still, as it was a really good bass...
Now off to Ebay!

 

[rustynuts]

Well...

"The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the minimum bid or reserve amount."

Sorry bongo.

 

[Chowderboots]

Oh those Futuras are pretty wild! I've seen a couple on the bay over the past couple months.

 

[amimbari]

speaking of Futura's, theres a Lefty version on Ebay this week for all the leftys who could be Fusion Fanatics out here.

( is there even one person out here who would buy a lefty Futura besides me ? )

 

[shark1]

So ... time to post a pic from another Jacksonbird

 

[Thundar]

baby baby! that is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

[Chowderboots]

Is that yours, Andre?? WOW!!! Holy schnikies that's beautiful! When/where did you get it?

 

[bongomania]

Oh, yes. I approve.

 

[Chowderboots]

That is a black and gold dream, my friend...

 

[Alcyon]

That is dope.
