davidb1986 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Here is another Les Paul being sold as a real one on ebay. It is obvious that it is a fake. The "n" on "Gibson" is crooked for and there are more things on it that help you tell that it is a fake. Here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250826963509&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT . I sent her a message telling her it was a fake and that she needed to update her description last night. Well she is still selling it as a real deal Gibson it has 2 bids on it.

davidb1986 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 I hate fakes...makes me sad :( Me too!!! What makes me even sadder is that it's now at $365 and it's a fake and the seller knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb1986 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 When is eBay going to remove the listing? It's $610 already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSkwirrell Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 You can see the wood grain through the finish! The shape doesn't look entirely right either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Imagine if the 'woman' selling it is genuine and she's been paid off with a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb1986 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Well it looks like eBay isn't going to pull it off. I've reported it and I know a few of y'all probably did the same. How do I report it to Gibson so they can make eBay take it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This_Dying_Soul Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 GIBSUN that's hilarious. At least the case looked like a genuine Gibson case, but wouldn't the custom shop cases have the dust cover sewn into the case's interior? I understand they stopped this for the Gibson USA cases some time ago, but I thought custom shop cases still did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angellus Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 there are a number of subtle details that just seem out of place from the binding to the logo and even the sticker of the back cavity plate that is used on so many fake chinese imports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It should be removed tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I've reported it four times, and I received an impatient email from Ebay CS personnel.... I emailed back and told them I will again report it tomorrow if I see it listed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Wunterslausche Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 This one's going to go the distance me thinks, still up. Could wait until buyer leaves feedback and then let them know it was reported umpteen times. They might be able to hold eBay liable then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I reported it again..... Someone is going to get ripped off if this isn't shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne14t? Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 8 bids and at almost $1500...I actually logged into my ebay account for the first time in three years to report this, someone is going to be really choked if they get suckered into buying this. Edit: Even sent a message to the seller, I noticed it stated it was from a breakup or some awkward crap like that, so the chick probably has no clue at all what she is trying to sell. Would hate to see her get burned twice by her ex and then once more for selling a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceTr3 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 It's @ 1400. Breaks my heart seeing people pay for that fake with so much money :( the stick on the back that says "Gibson" was the giveaway for me. No gibson has that as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
