CAn you tell I'm a little fed up with ebayers?

[clutch71]

I don't really care if I sell this. It's a great guitar, I bought it to flip not realizing there were two models. An ESP and an LTD. I'm convinced that I'll get my money back but, ebayers think they are Arab traders and ask the dumbest questions sometimes.

One person actually asked for the reserve price. I told him higher than my reserve.

hahaha. That guy asked if it was a mini guitar? lol.

Did you buy it thinking it was the ESP version? Not sure what you meant by your comment.

Anyway, it's a beaut and best luck with the sale.

I thought ESP and LTD were the equivilent of Les Paul and Standard. LTD is the Epiphone of the ESP line. I know that now.

I thought I got it so cheap because the thing was a mess; strings broken, green funk from palm muting in the bridge, I'm not kidding I about puked and I've got a strong stomach I think the guitar belonged to Dirty Steve Rudebaugh before I got and cleaned it up.

Like I say, I hope it doesn't sell. I'll keep it.

You could just end the auction and keep it if you are thinking that way.

I never understood why people get offensive when you ask them the reserve price. as a bidder, there's no way to communicate this information. By telling him a higher number, isn't it possible you turned him away? He thinks there's no point in bidding because he won't get it, because you won't sell for less than the reserve price.

I ask people sometimes. I just want to know if it's worth bidding on. How does me knowing the reserve price change anything on your end?

How do you like how that thing plays? I'd like to get one sometime, and I was just wondering about how the finish feels and how it sounds/plays.

Even though my auctions state I'll only ship to US, Canada, and Japan...

They always ask anyways:

"Greetings!.
You can send to me in case of my victory at your auction to the address: count-KAZAKSTAN, sity-ASTANA, post index-010000? Delivery cost?
Before the link which are thankful in advance!"

I cancel his bid (uggh), reply back, and receive...

"It is very a pity to me!"

Oh BTW... Giving the reserve price to one bidder gives them an advantage. Which isn't fair IMO. So I don't provide that to anyone who ask.

LMAO. I've had stuff like that before too. Ebay certainly brings people out of the woodwork.
