I'll try to keep this short, but it is kinda funny.
I bid on and won a 1992 LP Standard w/ a birdseye maple top (really beautiful guitar) The guy emails me 3 days later and says that he made a mistake it is really a 1995, not a 92. So i said no biggie, as long as the guitar is mint, as stated.
I waited another 3 days waiting for him to send me a total, so i called him in Tennessee, last night. We talk for a bit...and i say, "so you do a lot of studio work? how did you keep that guitar so clean?"
He says, "no i play in a band i gig a lot. i actually dropped the guitar once, but it is ok"
I proceded to say, "how can the guitar be mint if has been dropped and gigged with?"
He said, "well it isnt a big dent."
I told hin thanks but no thanks!!! i offerd to pay his ebay fees because i did bid on it (i figured it was only fair)
i dodged a bullet there...good thing he was honest about it, or i would have ended up with a broke guitar!!!
I know it isnt about an EBMM guitar...but a good lesson for all who deal on ebay!
