Members JerEvil Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 small thing as well but the 2005 Customs I looked at have a much larger space in the middle of the diamond as well. Edit: DERP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Musicscotty Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 Clearly a fake, but it looks like ebay will ignore the reports - as usual. They make money regardless of the authenticity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members satannica Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 My first Gibson explorer turned out to be fake. I paid usual used price from a store in london but I was pissed about it. The store had changed hanfs already and obviously wasn't going to support something bought four years prior. I sold it on eBay but stipulated several times it was fake. I made exactly the same money back though. I saw it on gumtree about three months later and the guy sold it for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members satannica Posted January 12, 2012 Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 Someone could always create another auction using same text and pictures with a warning that it's fake and a link to this page? Just a thought - the buyer may see it. Or some gumtree adverts? IF the buyer is actively seeking a used LP, I'm sure he's familliar with those sites.
