Members batotman Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/replica-counterfeit.html Yeah we aren't the ebay police but there is constant talk of guitars and whether they are fake. Report them! But don't report an innocent person. If you KNOW its fake, report it. If you THINK it may be fake, leave it be. Some are pretty obvious with fake headstocks. Why report it? Save your fellow musician from making a stupid mistake just as you'd like them to save you from making one! To quote a famous man: Stand Up or Shut Up!

Funny story, I was checking out these chinese women at the gym with super tight bodies and they were with these really ugly tiny chinese dudes. I mentioned something to my friend about them and he said watch out.....they may be small and weak but they will Jackie Chan your ass. A whole group of them goes to bowl on Friday night. They are referred to as the Chinese mafia and bowl in sunglasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yzfou Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 If anyone is wondering I'm just kidding, I was in an asian basketball league and they are the most honest people I have ever met, I once forgot an 100$ bball there, A guy I didn't know took it with him and brought it back to me the next week, you could leave a 100$ bill on the ground and no one would touch it.

Members Dr. Tweedbucket Posted April 21, 2006 Members Share Posted April 21, 2006 I saw an auction for a Black LES PAUL that showed a great looking guitar with a killer Buy it Now ! price !!! It was some sad story about hard times and how everything must go dirt cheap. .... lots of pics but the pictures chopped off part of the headstock that would say Gibson ....... or EPIPHONE !!! My first thought was that it was a Gibson until looking closer.... I have to assume it was the latter. Lots of scams out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prodrigu Posted April 22, 2006 Members Share Posted April 22, 2006 That's a good thing you are doing Batotman. I usually do not browse on Ebay (only used it for selling a some gear so far) but I will definitelly report if I see something that for sure is fake. Good job:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
