End of story.
FWIW I prompted someone to end a listing once for what he'd described as a '1962 Les Paul Standard'. Needless to say it was NOT an SG shaped guitar but normal Lester shape. It was a sale for a friend deal, the bloke was no guitarist and he'd read the serial no wrong off some site or other.
He relisted more accurately having done more homework and avoided any other potential pitfalls.
I wonder if he will prove me wrong - simply by considering my argument objectively and evaluating his actions, in order to make a more informed decision the next time a similar opportunity presents itself. I have my doubts.
I didn't deem this worth replying to but "Beef" did, so I guess we have to lower the bar by quite a bit if we want to keep the ball rolling...
Ibanez Tubescreamers were produced in the deep tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. They're not rare, they're just expensive; and even if they were rare, this once in a lifetime opportunity has been already lost because the auction was cancelled and there's no saying if and how we'll see this particular pedal listed again in the future.
No doubt someone contacted directly to close a mutually acceptable deal outside of eBay which give the guy a chance to make more money on it and no doubt be a good score for the buyer.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Also yeah, I totally did this all for the internet glory. Give me your frets.
Good to have you around.
Are you SURE you didn't have a personal interest in that "cheapo Japanese pedal"?
On eBay people will generally find things and bid them up to an acceptable price anyway, but at least the owner has the chance to put up an appropriate description now.
If it's a mainstream shop then I snap up the bargains asap, play them for a bit and if it's not something that I like I'll save them until I need money.
From shops I've had:
A 6 string fretless Mayones bass for £280. I did actually intend to use this but it was way too hard. Swapped it for a Music Man Stingray 5 string that I still use every day.
Prestige Ibanez with hardcase and tremol-no for £280. Sold for £750.
EHX Little Big Muff for £10. Sold for £40.
Boss RC-3 for £60. Sold for £95.
I got a load of tab books in a Music Room sale for 99p years ago. Put them in a cupboard and I've just sold most of them for £9 each.
So there are still bargains around.
The strangest one that I've had was buying a Tokai Les Paul on here for £900, which was an awful lot of money for me and I certainly didn't see as a bargain. The original owner then got in touch with me and said that he desperately wanted it back and he offered me £1200. I checked back with the person I bought it from on here and he was fine with it so I sold it for cash in my house. The guy was over the moon with it as well.
I'm appalled, absolutely appalled and outraged at the racist nature of this post.
Jamal isn't a name commonly associated with honest, white, middle class British men.
Are you suggesting that only someone with an ethnic background, as you seem to imply, is capable of an heinous act of shoplifting?
I can only assume the shoplifter was attached to some type of winch, as demonstrated by Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 2.

I'm secretly hoping that glynes and beef are in fact the same person who is just trying to work out what is morally right.
