Q: Hi - I am really interested in those boxes you are selling for the Gibsonbacker, as I have quite a few already in my collection. If I wire over $80 plus $350 shipping cost (and $10 insurance, of course), would you be able to send one to the UK for me ? In fact, I am getting so horny thinking about your box that I will take 10 of them. Thanks - The Boxman

A: Hi; If you like, asking you to bid. Thanks.

That auction was pulled.

Ha, Kaia, you're faster than I am!!

Q: Good day to you. Does this guitar have little white dots, or does it have SHARK-fin inlays on the fretboard. Also does the Gibson logo on the headstock stay well stuck down in a strong wind as I play at a lot of outdoor festivals and we have awful weather in the UK. Many thanks and good wishes to you. May you live long and prosper. Regards Mr S. Pock

A: Hi; ok.


Q: Hello, I just wanted to ask how much this item would cost to ship to the US, (Florida to be exact). You did say you would charge $350.00, but that is combined shipping, meaning that I would have to buy more than one guitar from you, I guess? Also, you did say $80.00 would include a box (or a case, to be more exact) So I guess my question is if I was to win the auction at the lowest bid possible, would the $350.00 get me the bass with the case (or box)? That's what you meant by combined shipping right?

A: Hi friend! If you win, I can deliver for you. If you win two items of, I can with special your two item expenseses of%5. If you need the box, you must pay another of $80, thanks.


Q: Is this a Les Paul Rickenbacker or a Gibson 4003? Is it made in US and can the strings be changed to make it 4 string or pehaps a bow and arrow? Also is cash on colelction OK? Thanks for help!
Jul-12-06

A: Hi; This item has already make into, I can't change, thank you.


Q: Hello friend- I am David Gilmour of the Pink Floyd. I would like to purchase three of these guitars in memory of my mate Syd who recently bought the farm. I figure with three, I can wipe my *** on one, wipe with another, and use the third to cover up the whole bloody mess. And if not, I can always autograph them and sell them to the boys from Metallica.

A: Hi friend! If you like this item, asking you to bid, thanks.


Q: This isnt a Rickenbacker, or even a bass giutar, and its not blue. Its a Les Paul, custom 6 string, sunburst. Have a happy.
Jul-12-06

A: Hi; I have this item to sell, is just the color dissimilarity. Thanks.


Q: Would you allow me to mail to you a cash payment for the guitar? I'll even send Chinese currency if you like.
Jul-12-06

A: Hi friend! The ebay does not let use the cash deliver. Thanks.


Q: Hello my friend. Thank you for your reply. I have just one more question before I bid on this very noble guitar. You describe it as 'magnetic'. Does this mean that instead of having to hang it on my wall, can I stick it to my freezer to keep it from falling over ? I already feel so exhalted at the prospect of winning it that I cannot sleep.
Jul-12-06

A: Hi; Not, this item can hang, but must have the adjunct. Thanks.


Q: Hello my friend. I am indeed 'enthralled' by this lovely Gibsonbacker guitar. If I buy it, will it really bring me luck and good fortune as you say ?. I need some luck and good fortune as my wife has left me, and my dog died last week. I am more upset about the dog really and have decided to buy a guitar instead and call it 'Shep' in memory of him. I have written a song about him called 'Old Shep' and hope to record it with this guitar and have a top ten hit. Thank you, and 'peace' on you and your family. E.P.

A: Hi friend! Tm sorry to you .I wrote the description wrong, but I am a good businessman of real EBAY. Thanks.

Ask seller a question

I received a response to one of MY questions yesterday....

"dear friend,
glad to receive your letter,
you can check my ebay account ,I am a power seller now,
and I took the photoes from the exact item,
hope you will like it ,
any other questions,please contact us,
yours,"

I never received an answer to my "question", which really was a comment about that not being blue, not being a Rick, not being a bass...

The idiot has a "stratocaster" for auction that isn't real - he doesn't show the headstock, the pu's look wrong, and the pick guard has only 5 or 6 screws. Strats - even my 86 Jap Strat - have 11 screws holding the pick guard on.

Amazing that ebay lets these scams continue. Their loss - the credibility of their product just seems to be tanking fast IMO.

Is that your question above, Ed, with the smiley?

Ohhh, you need a Strat??? I can help!

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read. I'm sorry to you. haha!
I think this is what my Spanish sounds like.

Kaia - very similar to what I said, but I never said anything about sunburst...

Jack - LOL!

This was my question - I am waiting for soon good happy answers.

"Does this guitar, which I can tell is indeed a real Rickenbacker bass in midnight-blue, come with the OHSC? Thank you. I have already sent cash to you in good faith that you are honorable trustworthy business man with real Ebay account and real merchandise to sell. I suggest that all viewers of your real merchandise send you real dollars, or their version of it, be it mushy and brown, or moldy and perishable. They should do it today. Right now. Please post your shipping address so we can all react with gratuitous compliance.

Thank you for honorable business and good happy luck."

My question for the Chinese version of the '68 4-PU prototype was the same except for the intro:

"Does this guitar, which I have never ever seen before anywhere else in the whole wide world, especially not posted on Ebay by it's original seller nor all your honorable Chinese businessman friends, come with the OHSC?"

Walker

Thanks Kaia . Had to share that stuff with the rest of the band .

Thanks for shearing, Kaia! Extremely funny!
