Members MattACaster Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 I don't feel comfortable giving it out or sending a pic of it without numbers blanked out but I can't think of a reason to back that up... Am I being a dick or it there a legitimate reason to not hand out the serial #? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalaxe Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 He probably wants to know when it was built etc.If it's not stolen (I assume it isn't) there's no reason to not give him the serial.If I'd ask for the number and the seller refuses to tell me, I'd assume it's stolen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zacman0126 Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yeah, there's nothing odd about requesting a serial number. No big deal man, just let's you know when/where it's made. Sometimes I'll just post that info directly in the ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattACaster Posted May 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 That makes sense. Its an original Agile LP so the serial probably wont get you real far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R00PE Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 its not like hes asking for your credit card number so... nothing weird about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 He probably wants to build an exact copy, use your serial number...and then post an ad for it on Ebay $10 cheaper than your auction. Don't DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yourguitarhero Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 How can he possibly rip you off?Smart move from him - if it isn't in the pics and he asks you and you give him a valid one he knows you haven't just stole the pics off the net to rip him off.It also lets him check up on the guitar, see if it was made before 95 etc?

Members Crunchtime Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 Who knows? Maybe he had a guitar stolen and is trying to figure out if yours is actually his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. It just didn't seem like something I;d want to share. Thats why I asked for other opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NaturalBornBoy Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 Unless you have a rare item I don't think there is a point. Why should you not divulge the serial # of a rare guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belva Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 I don't think that's very unusual. I did put one of my home builts on CL and had a guy ask for the serial #. I even said it's a home built. Now that's just stoopid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gsxrbusa Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 What if you give him the serial # and then he calls the cops and says he had a guitar stolen with serial #(insert your number here) and claims it as his? Even though the guitar is not stolen, he claims it is and has the serial #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~Abstract~ Posted May 14, 2011 Members Share Posted May 14, 2011 Then you show the police your bill of sale from Rondo...the pictures where you opened the original package checking for shipping damage...and the emails where he asked you for the serial number...then you ask them what you can do so this guy doesn't ever try that {censored} again.
