[font=trebuchet ms]I've bought 4 guitars on eBay so far. One guy charged more for S&H than I thought was reasonable, but it was still a good deal all round. Two were Yamahas and two were Washburns. Both companies have very consistent build quality, so I was fairly sure about what I was getting, based on the guitars I already had.[/font]

I once bought "stuff" from some guy's pocket. $5 it cost me for a back full of stuff. There was a peg, an arcade token, dime and a nickel, cough drop wrapper, some pocket lint (of course), a plastic zebra, a couple pendants and some poker chips.

Manchester United were playing AC Milan. This kid from Man U, Ronaldo (the Portuguese one, not Brazilian one) has a tussle with an AC Milan (a Brazilian one) named Cafu. Ronaldo is about 19 yrs old. Cafu is about 34. This kid started playing for club and country on an international level the other day. Cafu has been playing for eons. So they get into a tussle. And as they get up, Ronaldo pokes a hand at Cafu. Cafu holds his arms akimbo, looks ar Ronaldo sideways, and [u]smiles[/u]. People in the pub where I was watching the game burst out laughing, as in LMFDAO.
It was funny, really.
So, Dr_Cafu, just hold your arms akimbo, look at the kid sideways, [u]smile[/u] and walk away.

I think I am more likely to moderate.

Picking a fight with another player will get you in trouble.

I cant believe anyone would slag ebay. Its thee only place to get awesome guitars on the cheap. I think Ive bought around 300 Gibsons off ebay right now. Recently I got these two guitars. In the UK where I live, the sell for double this amount!!!

Its like anything.. If you dont know how to work it then dont expect much from it. I cant ride a motor bike so I dont say they suck. Likewise, unless you know ebay well, then really you cant critise it because you can get amazing deals on it all day long.

ha ha ha... some of my friends talk about it... so they'll probably end up dragging me to it... but if they do drag me to it, then I'm dragging my girlfriend with me and we'll just go to the back row and won't be watching the movie anyways, if you know what I mean ;)
