Most used eBay phrase selling guitars???

CSS · May 29th, 2003, 09:57 PM

I say it has to be either "I hate to sell it", "plays like a dream", or "The best I have ever played".

If all of these apply, then why sell it !!

Some of the ads crack me up.

My favourite:
"I don't know anything about guitars. Sold as is."
Or:
"I'm selling it for a friend. I don't know much about it."

I always thought the most used phrases were:

"Like Fender"

or alternately,

"Like Gibson"

"tone monster" and "srv" are bandied about a little too much, as are "all original" and "NOT" as in NOT Fender. Sometimes I wish I could reach through the computer and dope-slap people who put NOT in the title.

"mint, except for..." Hey either its mint or its not.

not fender gibson, not dimarzio, not bill lawrence

"I have no way of testing to see if it works."

sticko · May 30th, 2003, 02:25 PM

"email me for photos"

"Need to sell guit to pay off taxes"

or
"Too many guitars in the stable, must thin it out" (read: this one's a reject)

the best one is "My wife says its either her or the guitar".
