I snapped the guys hand off, however the sale was slightly fraught as he wanted payment outside of ebay via bank transfer but I said no, Paypal or forget the sale, take it or leave it. There was no way I was going to transfer money to a stranger. The chap said he wasn't going to pay PayPal fees so I just said let me know if you change your mind. 10 minutes later he messaged me to say he reluctantly would accept a PayPal payment. I did the Payment but then received a message from the seller saying f**k ebay and thanks for trusting him. Apparently ebay had withheld payment until he sent the item off to me, I guess this is to stop fraud and to cover me. The guy wasn't a happy bunny. Anyways once I had told ebay I had received the item the paypal payment was then released. I don't know why the guy was saying thanks for trusting him etc, I just said put yourself in my shoes, would you do a bank transfer to a stranger

Tim.

It was probably a sarcastic thanks

Yes, sounds like sarcasm. PayPal take 3.4% and eBay take 10%, so that’s a hefty chunk out of £1100.

However I wouldn’t have paid by bank transfer either, could have been some Nigerian con man.

But these are only the ones I am prepared to admit to - thank god I only have a single garage and one parking space else I would have more cars ( and no wife!!)

Very nice collection there Sparky

That's the beauty of a guitar collection, unlike cars, the wife doesn't have to know how many

"honestly dear, I have had that one for years"

Love the Steve Harris style jazz. I have two of of his basses myself, the sparkle one and the West Ham one. Big Ricky fan too. Have 2 of those too. My jetglo was made the same month as me, July 1982 which is pretty cool. Here’s a few of mine. I have bit of an addiction.
