i must apologise for not posting in french, as i do not speak it well..
...to the matter in question..
I am the seller of that guitar.
the guitar is not as bad as the photo's look, it is dinged and scratched cosmetically yes, but it played and sounded perfectly ok when it was sold, i have had NO other complaints in over 225 ebay sales, and over 500 other guitars sold. the photo's on ebay are not done to make the guitar look any better ..or any worse...thats how it looks...the 'excellent' refers to the way the guitar sounds,,I would assume that anyone buying a 26 year old guitar would, if they were concerned about the cosmetic condition, ASK for more detailed pictures of the area of concern...this did not happen...
that burny was sold in excellent playing order, the neck is straight, all the electrics are fine, and it sounds GOOD..
.the buyer has already been through the paypal litigation process, and has lost the case, paypal have decided in my favour. they have seen all the photographs, both mine and the buyers...does that not tell you something??
I would suggest that anyone who thinks that threatening to ''come to my house with some big friends'' is a good idea is very very stupid...i do not react well to threats..
If the buyer had contacted me in a reasonable manner, explaining that he had made a mistake by buying the guitar and should have asked some questions, and asked for more pictures first ..then i would have been open to a discussion...he did not ..he sent me some pictures of scrapes and dings, demanded his money back and then actioned a paypal dispute...this annoyed me very much and so I decided not to refund in this case...
re the packing, the guitar was sold with a gigbag, it was sent in a custom guitar box, wrapped in bubble wrap..and secured in place by balled newspaper....I do not see a problem with this.....
I have a disagreement with this buyer, not with anybody else on this forum, so to attack me in the way I have just seen is a new and interesting experience for me..
I will await the outcome of the ebay dispute..if they find in the buyers favour I will of course abide by that decision. sorry for such a long post ..in the wrong language...but i feel it necessary to explain why i was not prepared, in this case to offer a refund on that guitar.
