Few weeks back someone dropped me an offer on my amp, I countered, he countered and then withdrew the offer - which I would hve accepted if I'd have had chance. Anyways I thought nothing of it and went about my business.
Now the same guy has dropped me another offer this afternoon. Money wise I'm happy with his offer but with the previous faffing I do not want to sell to him and then potentially look at any daft behaviour after the sale.
Yes I know ebay is hell and I agree. Ive completely been screwed over by lieing buyers before now, had hard evidence on my side and still lost the case. I guess thats what has made me wary this time. Absolutely nothing to suggest that this guy will be like that though and so far all is above board.

The would-be buyer, angling for a discount, earns that price reduction by making things easier or quicker for the seller. Cash is king.
Same for anything buying and selling to be honest. All this counter/counter crap etc. falls into what I like to call "fannying around" and indicative of someone being a bit of a knob.
Funny thing, I recently bought various bits and bobs used (furniture and the like) as I'm setting up my new flat. As all the stuff was low value (i.e. a chest of drawers for £30 ... cheap rug, old TV etc. etc.) I decided to test my gut feelings on deals that I would normally walk away from.
Turns out I was proven right on on most of them them. e.g.
1. This bloke sounds like a tool and is going to mess me about - yup; cancelled on me last minute, wouldn't answer calls as I'm stood outside his house.
2. Someone kept changing their mind and pissing me about; this isn't worth my effort - yup; changed his mind on the price.
3. Last one was funny - sounded like I was being lined up for being scammed (but like I say, for something cheap). I took another gamble and it turned out the guy was really nice, just had no idea how to communicate with people on email or text.
Meh - your mileage may vary ...
Hes already logged a return request so I'm not holding my breath. Once this is resolved/finished I will be deleting my eBay account for good.

@ICBM @Ecc83 Apologies to tag you guys, I was hoping to garner some of your knowledge.
In an attempt to try and stop silly messages going backwards and forwards I have since spoken with the buyer. Turns out that he received the amp, played it for 1-2 hours. Sounds like he played it full whack and used numerous pedals. The amp always ran (very) hot but I have gigged with it for the past 18 months and not had any major issues. He left it for an hour or so, came back to it and switched it on, there was a bang and no power to the amp. He tried different power outlets in his house and still no power.
Ive offered some cash towards repairs and its with an amp tech local to the buyer. My questions are
Generally given ebay's "Buyer will prevail" stance im trying to nip this in the bud. Im gonna get stung but better than losing the full amount and getting a broken amp back.
HELP PLEASE!
