Hello JMR986,

Common practtice on Craigs list to delete
when the item has been sold.
It was a good deal.

Cheers.


Yeah that was a sweet deal, i would guess it's deleted because it has a new home. i wish more sellers would do that out of courtesy.

It looks like a mint Lake Placid blue 60s series to me for $300 with the case!

I got one earlier this year for the same price without the case.


Hey Kong.....How come your forum Signature has the same gear that's in that photo and presumably the ad on Craigslist?

Funny thing....you seem to suggest that you just "found " this great deal on Craigslist. It looks like your planting your Craigslist add on these forums.

Not supposed to sell gear here, you know.....


Not true Jay,

I bought the same guitar earlier this year and put EMGs in it. I really just thought it was a great deal and I'm hoping someone else buys it to save me from myself!!

Did you read his apology, that's probably hat you should comment on. :shock:

Jay just jumped the gun a bit. he admitted to not reading carefully enough. Considering some of the shadyness that has happened on the boards recently, I hope you can cut him some slack, and accept his sorry. Afterall, he was just trying to throw a shield out there for his forumites. he'd do the same for you. He owned up and apologized as soon as he was made aware of his gaffe.

I don't want to screw up anybody's stomping party, but... read the OP again.

It contains a link to a Craigslist ad. The the OP says, "I GOT ONE earlier this year for the same price but without a case."

Then he shows you a picture of some gear... gear that he obviously owns, thanks to his sig list. He even calls attention to the fact that he owns such a guitar by telling you that he owns one.

One could easily conclude that the guitar in the Craigslist ad and the guitar in the picture above are not the same guitar, but that he was proudly showing you the one HE got earlier this year.

So you might want to hold off all that "skank-liar-cheat-scam artist" name-calling til you know the facts.


You know what? I believe Slap is correct.

Im a complete idiot and must apologize to Kong. Sorry, Kong! Maybe you arent a skank after all! :oops:



Thanks for the "apology" Jay. What's the feel out there, should I refrain from posting good deals? I don't mind being called names by internet tough-guys :roll: but I do want to follow the rules and general proper etiquette. I thought a $750 git for $300 w/ bonus case was pretty cool. Seller did not seem to know what he has per the ad.

12Bar, obviously I did not see the apology or read the whole thread before replying. Not that I said anything negative in that reply. In deference to the rules, this seems like a possible gray area and I will keep good deals to myself henceforth.

thanks

Hmm.. that's kind of a grey area. You weren't posting for commercial gain, but it was a link for a sale. I don't think you did anything wrong, but I'm not really sure how the terms cover it.

There have been links to stuff in the past though. So a resounding maybe.

But thats clearly not the case, is it? The op didnt post a link to the great deal he got.

Are sales on this craigslist site limited to their surrounding area? Could not someone from a different area that saw the advert buy the item?

Whats a 'freakin tard', is it some kind of victorian circus exhibition or is it more akin to a feckless idiot?

Why seek to act like a feckless idiot by attempting to stirr up trouble long after the OP has accepted Jays quite genuine apology for a genuine mistake?

Is this what listening to maiden does to you, or is it just Bruce Dickinson?

If anyone can answer these questions then please do. They will keep me awake of a night otherwise. I'll just lie in bed starring at the ceiling, pondering them. Until i finaly crack, fly out to nepal, climb a mountain to find some wise old hermit sage and pose him with them.
