Fire Guitars - caution

MtB

If anyone is interested in paying £300+ more than I'm asking for on here for my Les Paul then I'd suggest you head over to Reverb, where Fire Guitars of Ealing have it for sale as well.

I only found out this morning.   

and from a "trusted seller" no less

Have you reported to reverb?  I guess it was only so long before the scammers found the site.

Hopefully Reveb will come up with a good way of dealing with them

MtB

Yes, reported to Reverb - hopefully they'll do the right thing.

I can't be bothered wasting my time contacting the seller.

@iain.reverb is a member here and seems like a nice & reasonable chap. Maybe have a PM conversation.

Disgraceful.

They're also asking £1200+ for a Les Paul Studio Platinum.   I paid £550 for mine 4 years ago...

Fucking chancers!!

It would probably be a good idea to put Fire Guitars in your title so that it comes up in Google results (plus puts the blame on them rather than Reverb who as long they sort it haven't done 'owt wrong yet

MtB

Fixed

So how difficult does life get for them if, say, someone hit 'buy' on their Reverb page, and then you don't sell it to Fire when they inevitably try to buy it?

That could be fun, as they try to buy your guitar off you to sell it back to you...

MtB

The person that alerted me then went on to say that they had (I guess earlier today) hit the "buy" button with Fire Guitars on a different guitar and just paid them £750!

Depends on where the files are hosted - you can browse as a guest and then steal the images from the hosted site as they will be set to viewable by the public. Don't need to be a member to do that..

You do to contact the seller to make a deal, though...

List it first and then join to do the deal maybe?

Or there's a dormant member who just uses it to do purchases?

Either way, the lying shit is probably reading this...

If that is indeed what they have done then they've breached copyright law.
