Just bought my first AXIS

[Knox]

$899 which is a bargain - about £400 GBP. A new one over here would cost me £1200 and this one is MINT Trans Gold! Heres the link

Please everyone tell me I done the right thing.......!

I'd say you done good... It looks like a sweet guitar. I like the color and the top is really nice. Congrats!!! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I'm sure Koogs will greet you with the standard line, so post some pics when you get it.

What made the seller reverse his decision about shipping to US addresses only?

 

[ernie1966]

You did the right thing, the Axis model is awesome. You aslo did a great job exploiting the difference in the dollar/pound.

What made the seller reverse his decision about shipping to US addresses only?

I was reluctant to ship overseas when I first started auctioning stuff, but USPS does a great job and they make it simple and they are cheaper than UPS. Also, Brit and Europeans are hot to buy stuff from the US on ebay because of the cheap US dollar. When I first started auctioning, I'd get tons people begging me to ship to Europe, so I said ended up giving in. One guy bought two guitars from me in one shot! You sell your stuff alot faster when you don't restrict your buyers to 'USA only.'

Don't forget to:
Register your guitar with Ernie Ball for free strings
Yeah well I guess you can forget about that one.
Add Your guitar's serial number to the IMPORTANT: My Ernie Ball's Serial # is...sticky
Post your picture in the "Official" pics-o-my-guitar Thread
Finally, get Koogs to welcome you to the addiction. (Whoops! did I say that)

As for your signature needing to be edited:
You really should do that just like jon recommended. After all we don't care about the stuff you have that you won't be using any more now that you FINALLY have an Ernie Ball Music Man Axis

That looks like a good 'un from here, Knox - I'm sure you'll love it...

Now get some nice pics and you can swap a body shot out for your current avatar...

nice axis

 

[ernie1966]

Last, but not least, bug Jon for the build date of your new(old) Axis. Don't forget to bump that post if he doesn't answer in 43 seconds. That's all he does at EB, you know. Then every year, on it's birthday, you can treat it to a new set of strings (EB, of course), a nice rub down and a loving set-up.

Congrats on the new axe.




Change that Avatar!!!!

Nice work, Banger. I only had MS Paint to work with, so I couldn't get too fancy (not that I'm artistic enough to get fancy, anyway).

Yours looks much more convincing, whereas mine looks as juvenile as it is!

 

[brentrocks]

What about this one?

SCNR

yeah that's about what they're worth too!!!

too funny!!!

i agree...nice EB!!!

Haven't got it yet. The guy is being very funny with me saying he won't accept paypal band that I shouldn't have bid on a US auction. He's investigating what he should do now to protect himself. Basically he won't shup to UK and he now won't let me Paypal my Uncle in Virginia and have him paypal the seller so that the seller can ship iot to my Uncle. He's being very difficult. I mean what does he need proteciton from. Once he has his money why doesz he care where he ships it too. I'm an honest guy an dhave never ripped of anybody in my life?! Strange. Only other alternative is to fly over ang get it but thats just stupid. Possibly a US Postal order he wants now. But how will that protect me?

 

[Knox]

Oh and yes I may consider changing my Avatar if and when I get the AXIS! This is the first guy I've had problems with - all the rest of you Yanks are more than willing to ship over here!

 

[GWDavis28]

Knox, have the guy send it to your uncle FEDEX ECOD. It's the same type of electronic payment. Or FEDEX COD. You wire the $ to your uncle and he (your uncle) pays FEDEX. Your uncle get the guitar and the guy gets his $, it's win, win.

Hope this helps, Glenn |B)
