"Not much wriggle room" on this eBay gem

... which is a shame, considering he's asking more than the new price, plus £35 postage!

Anglesey. 'Ere be Gogledds. Strange people. The vendor is accustomed to regarding mainlanders as ripe for fleecing.

Selling for a friend! Always a good sign.

Worth about £325 at the very most. I've given up with Ebay both as a guitar buyer and seller.

'Pic no 12 see the discolored.ie rusty pickup screws. No big deal but need replacing'

Should we let him know that the relic'd pickup screws should command a premium?!

bbill335

can't believe he's asking that while admitting that the pickup screws are  "discolored.ie rusty"

Hey I’m from Anglesey. Llangefni actually. We have words to describe people like this seller, but I can’t think of an English equivalent!

Sad thing is, someone will probably buy it eventually, and it will contribute to the ridiculous price inflation we see for used guitars on ebay.

I live in Wales. I spent part of my Twenties at college in Carmarthen. (Hence, my fleeting grasp of the town's part-Welsh, part-English dialect.) One of my college contemporaries was Meirion Davies - the S4C writer/actor/presenter/producer. He was partly responsible for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gogs

Fun fact - Meirion's brothers were in 80s metal band Y Diawled:

Ah good ol' eBay.  People think because Fender constantly inflate their prices they can do the same, couple with the fact that you see so many listings which are clearly "used" listed as "New (Other)" now.
