I want to sell my gorgeous honeyburst SR4 and I tend to get these kinds of phone calls

'Oh I thought it was a SR5, Sorry!'- C'mon!! Unless otherwise stated(ie StingRay 5)most people expect the famous 4 string bass....

'Oh I thought that you also included the original hard case'- At this price? No way!! The case alone costs around £130 in the UK.

And the 'Greatest Hits':

'Now that you explained me what HoneyBurst looks like, I'm not interested because I was after a black StingRay' :eek: (Note that in the ad I state clearly the colour!!!)

'Well I just wanted to know the condition of the instrument(thanks for caring), after all I don't have the money to buy it(Then why bother calling). I will have to start saving money(oh really?) and also this is not the colour I'm after(Like I give a damn) because I would like a red StingRay. :mad:


Please share your experiences with timewasters....................
 
Some people just dont have something we like to call common sense. :D I myself can say I Occasionally have done somethings like that in my day.
