Doog Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 And at least he hasn't made a profit of twice as much like he originally wanted...he got about £200 out of it in the end. hopefully the guitar will go to someone who will appreciate it. hopefully his ebay fees will take care of that £200 and a little bit extra for good measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 hopefully his ebay fees will take care of that £200 and a little bit extra for good measure ebay fees are like 10% aren't they, so that's £400, so he made £3600, after purchasing a £3649 guitar, and a whammy pedal worth over £100 >< so really, he should have made a £149 loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 and don't forget the paypal fees as well so much for making ANY profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musclemuse00 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Paypal would of charge him £200? think their fees are 5%, he may listed it on the free day listing specials that Ebay sometimes do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seraphrevan Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 When these are shipped, how are they packaged? Do they add something into the case underneath the headstock, or otherwise immobilize the actual guitar as much as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I think sometimes listing an item is free, depending on the format etc, but the actual final value fee if your item sells (which would be about £400 in this case) isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 When these are shipped, how are they packaged? Do they add something into the case underneath the headstock, or otherwise immobilize the actual guitar as much as possible? you mean from mansons? nothing was in my case from what i remember, but it could've been packed a little better i guess. i don't recommend padding the back of the headstock or anything like that, especially if it's a gibson...you don't want any pressure on it...we all remember that LP i got in the mail with the headstock snapped clean off. just loosen the strings. mine took quite a beating during shipping - the box was falling apart even. thankfully that case is indestructible, but i'm not sure if the guitar is 100%.

seraphrevan Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Thanks for the reply, james. In other news, my best friend has informed me that she is on the waiting list to order a guitar as a birthday/christmas present for me in the coming year or two!

seraphrevan Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 A friend is buying you a Manson?... It would seem so, yeah. She said she originally wanted to get one for me this year for my birthday/Christmas in December, but then discovered how long the process really was, so just got put on the waiting list.

Bs Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Wait wait wait...So the guy on eBay who waited a whole year to get the guitar, tried to sell it for double, but said "I'll be more than happy to keep this in my guitar collection" eventually sold it at a loss?! Also congrats to Olly! Does that mean the current run is nearly at an end? And does anyone know if the next run will be delayed by the fact they have the Deloreans to make now too?
