Might not be illegal but it doesn't sit right with me.
if they are rare or maybe rare in UK then you missed an opportunity to sell at a higher price. If they are not rare, then the seller is misleading
But the ad clearly states that the Chorus pedal produces beautiful Chorus-y tones..... lovely.
He turned up on the Friday to buy and loved the guitar. Went on at length about different things he could use it on, then handed over the cash. Before he went I made it clear it meant a lot to me and put him on a promise to offer it back if he ever wanted to sell it and I would scrape the cash together. Very sad but glad to see it go to a new home etc etc.
Went up on ebay on the Monday for 500 more than my original asking price. I was tempted to lay into him but ultimately he'd paid what I'd asked for and I'm above shouting at a grown man for breaking pinkie promises. Just struck him off the future transactions list and moved on.
Original seller has his money and the new seller (should he sell them) has made a profit.
The platform is irrelevant imo.
I’m assuming you guys aren’t into reclamation/salvage/anitiques? Drew Pritchard anyone? This is how the world works.
What bothers me is a) the fact that the guy is asking a higher price yet you see more of his bloody flowers than the pedals and b) I didn’t see the original ad first.

This particular seller isn't doing anything wrong. It doesn't seem like any of you are considering buying so I don't see what the problem is.
If he's scored a bargain in the beginning and makes a few quid by reselling for a much higher price then fair play to him.
These threads stink of elitism - as if some of you lot have so much experience buying and selling gear that it gives you a right to point out perceived faults in what other people are selling.
(Yeah, I'm bitter.....)
The only time I get irked by so-called flipping is when people are dishonest about it i.e. a chancer gives you a sob story about needing an instrument for their son's birthday or something so that you'll take pity on them. Thats definitely not cool, but if the original seller happily sets and accepts a price for something then after that do whatever you want.
Now, personally speaking, if i pick up a bargain on here I'm inclined to pass that on again within the forum - but only because I'm fortunate enough that buying and selling gear has no impact on paying my bills at the end of the month.
I always wanted but could never justify buying a Les Paul, so I thought I'd try and see if I could build up to that. Over 10 years I've had PRS, Tom Anderson, Gibson, Musicman, .J Custom Ibanez, top end Fenders and I never cheated or took the piss out of anyone. I've played and owned some fantastic guitars that I never would have had the chance to otherwise and I got to meet some nice people along the way. Not everybody has £3000 to spunk on an R7. Sometimes it's a journey to get what you want.
I picked up a super cheap rivera 2x12 for £200 on Facebook last year. The amp was sold because the guy didn't have long to live. He even said i could flip it and make a profit, it's not something i would dream of doing.
