Members mondaymonkey Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 I've heard a lot of things about gibson, its QC, its overpricing, its underpricing ect but I've never heard of them making watches, MP3 players antiques ect. I think its another Gibby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seven58 Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 I got this spam too. Notice the domain, it has a .cn extension. This domain extension was originally designated for China businesses only, but is now available to the rest of the world. So I doubt it is a spam from Gibson guitars. Sorry if your post was meant to be sarcastic and I missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BigBone Posted May 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 I forwarded it to gibson this am fwiw. They use paypal so Gibson, Fender or whoever could probably get that shut down, plus they'll be getting scammed by people doing chargebacks and {censored} anyway. I doubt anyone actually thinks that's an Official Gibson USA website but, ya never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Annoying Twit Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 buy it quick, before Gibson's annual massive price increase I got tired looking for guitars from that site that weren't priced at 210 euros. Edit: Would anyone want to email Fender (or whoever) and ask them how come they can justify their UK or US prices when their "China prices" are all 210 euros?

Members BigBone Posted May 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 26, 2008 I thought about ordering something and then getting my moneyback from paypal since they're stupid enough to take payment that way, ya know scam the scammers. BUT, I'd probably actually for some reason feel a sense of guilt and I really don't want any {censored}ty fake Fenders or Gibson guitars and the fake Grestch's they sell are just too pitiful. plus I'm too lazy.
