JDK Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 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. Good call. I hope someone does if this auction actually closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell ebay that you'd reported it and it wasn't taken down. Plus you wanted to stop a fraudulent sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceTr3 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 We could all bid and get it up to 20k. Ha ha. Make the person scream with joy, then we don't pay. For some reason Mr. Burns from the Simpsons comes in my mind. "Excellent" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Wunterslausche Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Good man. Just tell ebay that you'd reported it and it wasn't taken down. Plus you wanted to stop a fraudulent sale. Very noble, I also have 100% but only 10 transaction so a hit would be 10% or I might consider it. You could just stick 3 grand in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adius Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Since the reporting has been done, I'll comment on the fact you can see an outline of the tool who took the photos in the reflection in the shot of the back of the guitar. Has anyone done a "ask the seller a question?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone done a "ask the seller a question?" I'm pretty sure that E-bay allows the seller to control which questions show up on the listing.

BigKahune Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi 'ive just bought a les paul on ebay but i'm scared to death that it is a fake - anyone knows where i can check the serialnumber?? Welcome. The serial number could be legit - fakers use "real" Gibson serial numbers all the time. Post pics of your guitar - clear, well lit overhead views, no angles, of at least these shots - headstock front and back, overall top shot, and body top shot.

This_Dying_Soul Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Welcome. The serial number could be legit - fakers use "real" Gibson serial numbers all the time. Post pics of your guitar - clear, well lit overhead views, no angles, of at least these shots - headstock front and back, overall top shot, and body top shot. Unfortunately serial numbers alone are not enough to verify authenticity of a guitar... however, if you email Gibson the SN, they may be able to tell you what the guitar or guitars (yes, they've been known to overlap serial numbers, especially from the early years through to the 70's). If the guitar doesn't match the description of any of the guitars known by Gibson to have that SN, it could be a fake. Also as BigKahune said, post pics, even the good fakes are often easy for experienced Gibson owners to spot and there are many guys that are less experienced like myself who could still spot many fakes from a mile away. Most of the fakes out there are obvious when you know at least some basic knowledge of what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
