Members GibsonQC Posted September 1, 2008 Members Share Posted September 1, 2008 http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZatomictommifusion This guy has *5* of them closing soon. They look pretty good, but he never mentions Gibson and the headstocks look like the "flatter" Asian copy. Are these fakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted September 1, 2008 Members Share Posted September 1, 2008 The crappy, low-res pics for supposedly high-value items is what would scare me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cavpilot Posted September 1, 2008 Members Share Posted September 1, 2008 That kind of crap has pretty much ended spending any more than $100 on a guitar from eBay for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted September 1, 2008 Members Share Posted September 1, 2008 I always wished that eBay would allow people to leave comments (not the Q&A {censored} where the seller has to approve that the conversation is made public). It would make things so much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shred4life Posted September 1, 2008 Members Share Posted September 1, 2008 Some people are so gullible.How could anyone bid on a guitar with {censored}ty pics,vague description and from an ebayer with no prior sales and a low # of transactions.Plus he used the same case for every guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dead Skunk Posted September 1, 2008 Members Share Posted September 1, 2008 Wow. A guy on my CL was just pushing a decent looking (but obviously fake) Supreme for $500. He said it was a copy made by Epiphone. Mentioned the Epi name about 10X saying it was just as good. He then emailed me looking to trade his Chinese Gibby (Fibby?) for my Epi LP Std.

Members GreatDane Posted September 2, 2008 Members Share Posted September 2, 2008 i totally reported that idiot. i thought it was entertaining he put pics of himself (or a friend) wearing each of the fakes. does that count as evidence in a criminal investigation?

Members ArKay Posted September 2, 2008 Members Share Posted September 2, 2008 Anybody try to contact these poor fellows yet?:poke: I used to do that, but eBay has made it more difficult at one point so I gave up on that. It's not always possible to communicate with an eBay member you haven't done a transaction with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
