Hmmnnn ... not sure anyone's gonna pay £825 for that guitar

It’s a Stevie Van Tenniscourt signature model, don’t you know?

Even in that absolutely diabolical condition, the stickers are still by far the ugliest thing on that guitar.

"Seller refurbished".

Ebay allow this, and this is why I hate them.

Don't see why it wouldn't be allowed, it's not like they're claiming it's in good condition then you receive that - if the pics show the reality of it then why not?

Well, yes... but this category (compared to “Used”) seems full of either dreadful belt sander and scorch mark “relics”, or simply second hand guitars which have been given a new set of strings and a wipe of Pledge. “Seller refurbished” feeds the egos of self-appointed “luthiers” far too much for my liking.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Bluddy hell, looks like it's spent the night with Prince Andrew.

Stevie Van Ray Halen Caster or 'PILE OF SHITE'?

But then there is this "My little girls stuck a sticker on it from 'Trolls' a character called Mr Tinkles" 

So maybe it is cool...

It didn’t sell. I knew the market was down, but this really drills it home

On the topic of "seller refurbished", I'm selling a guitar that has a bit of cosmetic damage and was looking in to the cost of a refinish before selling it but think it might be better to just drop the price by that amount and leave it up to the buyer to either refurbish it or not.

Do you think I'm making a mistake?

Has it really got the outline of the pickguard drawn on with a Sharpie?

I think we may have hurt his feelings...
