does this ebay auction site stink of rabbits or is it just me? there's guitars on there that'll fetch upto ?2000 anywhere else that they've got down for a tenner ( granted at the moment). i'd love to bid but i smell a scam...

Common sense says if its way underpriced then its usually bogus or something terribly wrong with them.Like a car with a stench that won't go away being sold for a bargain price
Thinking laterally it could well be the real deal but its been broken up into little pieces for ease of posting

ANY budding guitarist will want to try out an instrument before buying one. I saw a Steve Stevens SS-80 Washburn at a great ?600 last month, its limited and worth in excess of ?1000+.
Probably has a buckled neck or scratched to fuck. I was tempted, but again, without seeing it, did the right thing and left it

yeah, had a feeling. nearly got caught by the western union scam last year, ?350 for an ibanez jem... however, i di buy a jackson soloist for ?200. guy had good feedback but couldn't spell so i was the only bidder. a little trick i discovered for finding cheap stuff is the 'alternate spelling'.

Probably a con artist. IF you want equipment on ebay, ALWAYS go to someone who also has a shop, I just brought a new practice amp for ?40. I couldv'e got cheaper, but the seller had excellent feedback and his shop was only 15 miles away, so I saved on p&p, and as its new, got the guarantee as well
