good lord.

It is a scam, check here: same images: http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-es-175dn-blonde

Its easy to check, you copy the image URL and paste it into Google Image Search, and if its a duplicate image it will come up somewhere.... Also the offer went up to R4500 now...

Look at the ornate wooden dresser and plant behind the guitar. That's definitely the same pic. Definite scam.

Also , he states it was his grandfathers guitar that he used to play in a blues band with.

Played in a blues band using an ES-175 into a blonde Marshall head and 4 x 12 stack ? ? ( Selling in the same ad for only R1000.00 ? ) .. lol ?

Chocklit_Thunda

Yeah I didn't know whether to put it here or in the fraud warnings but I also did a reverse image search when I got home.... Definitely a scam!

GuitarDoge

I replied when as it came up saying I would drive and see it and then there was no reply. Definitely a scam.

Weird what we get accustomed to. Righty Rickenbackers look terrible to me because I'm used to Paul's lefty. Just like a lefty Telecaster looks completely 'wrong' to me/
But I still wouldn't say no to the chance to play one of these.

His rules regarding the submitting of offers looks like quite a good idea, especially if you've had a gut's full of time wasters before. It certainly makes your offer a serious one. I think that for a guitar in that condition it is warranted too.

I don't like the way he's doing it (from a buyers perspective). It is beneficial to him but as a buyer who likes to negotiate I won't even consider making an offer. He selected negotiable as a price, but offers no negotiation, just one-time offer per buyer.

I like 100 % how he's doing it , tbh .

These are for sale / selling in the region of $1500-$2000 + , excluding shipping etc to ZA off ebay ,
( http://www.ebay.com/bhp/rickenbacker-4001 )

The seller would expect serious buyers to make an offer in that ballpark . Simple .
For what it is in terms of rarity and desirability , there's not much to discuss or negotiate . Best offer takes it !

So , as a matter of interest , being the negotiator you are , what would your one time 'hypothetical' offer be then ? ... just curious....

I understand, and if he wants to do it that way there's no problem with it. I just think he might have trouble selling it with this process in mind (looking at the state of economy), but there might just be someone who's been waiting for that bass long enough.

If I really desired this bass enough right now I would pay its deserved value of around 20k. But I would first offer something a little lower obviously if I had the opportunity, as I'm sure anyone would like to feel they're getting an exceptional deal (or tried getting one at least).

To each his own, didn't mean to offend anyone.

No offence taken .
Bear in mind though that there are lots of people out there that are able and willing to spend big money on high end stuff like that and couldn't care less what the state of the economy is .
(Sadly for me , I'm worried about the state of the economy ☹ , so I won't be submitting an offer anytime soon .. lol ? )
