I'd be curious to see real pics, and find out how this guy got it. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | It's a scam. If you had a friend in Beijing, who could look at it, and I'm sure the seller wouldn't let you look, you'd find it was a fake. If you want a fake go ahead. Besides if something went wrong, how would you fix it? At least if you buy from let's say, Canada or New Jersey, you theortically write letters to the authorities or actually go there and find the guy. If you think you can find him in China ... ain't going to happen. |

If you think you can find him in China ... ain't going to happen. No, don't get me wrong, I wasn't born yesterday. I would never bid on something from china, other than a simple electronic piece for a couple of bucks. I posted this for the entertainment value. I wouldn't think you could hope of obtaining that gui---tar for that amount of cash, or yen or whatever. I think the generic picture is a good indication that it really isn't real. (and the "thingie" on the neck) Plus, as was stated by another observer, if you check this guy's feedback, it is rather questionable, with most of the people no longer registered users. It is just really funny to me how some people try in such incompetent ways to take money from others. (and yet, sometimes succeed) This practice has really run rampant on the Overstock.com auction site. That place is full of vipers of all sorts (not the guitar) that are just itching to part you and your money without receiving anything. |
