  1. Thing is your goin an about vat and if he part exchanged blah blah blah he is selling it privately so vat doesn't apply so you £250 would still be a silly offer as your not a shop and can't apply for vat

    that's my whole point you moron , private sales have no VAT so they should be at least 20% less than a shop would sell an item for

    it's not up to you to decide if it's a silly offer , it's not your guitar , butt out

  2. Because the retail value includes VAT.. does not matter whether the shop gets to keep the VAT or not... quite frankly I think your offer price is an insult... the reason why it should not be discounted from a private sale is the orginal buyer had to pay the VAT.

    so do you think second hand stuff should be the same price as new stuff ? how would you value a second hand guitar ?

  3. You are a bit of a prick ain't ya kybosh

    why does making a reasonable offer for a second hand guitar make me a prick ?

    why does explaining my valuation of the guitar make me a prick ?

    why am I even bothering to answer you ?

    .............no doubt an admin will delete it all soon anyway , not my offer though I hope as it is genuine and up to the op to accept , decline or otherwise , not you :nono:

  4. Your bit about VAT is nonsense TBH ... we all have to pay VAT on new so thats what its worth new... regardless of what you think its worth used.. the RRP includes the VAT.

    The New price in a shop includes VAT (the shop does not get to keep this)

    The second hand price in a shop includes VAT (the shop does not get to keep this either)

    There is no VAT on second hand private sales (so why should it not be discounted from the value of an item ?)

  5. I hope that was a joke offer. Even if they are £599 they are worth more than £250 all day long,lol.

    Ronz

    nope , no joking , of the £599 you pay a shop for a new one of these £120 of that is VAT , you don't pay VAT on a s/h private sale

    ...if on the other hand the op was to trade this guitar in at a shop they could not sell it for the same price as a new one no matter how good condition it is in, say they marked it down 25% from the new price @ £450 , they still have to pay VAT on this , that would be £90 so the guitar is now down at £360 , lets give the shop a 25% (probably a bit low) profit on the sale £90 , that makes the trade in price for this guitar £270 , that is the most I would be prepared to pay for it , my opening offer of £250 is not much less , it's up to the seller to either accept the offer , try to raise me a bit or ignore the offer ............no joke :)

  6. I would say stay away from this , it looks like a home made hotch potch of bits made to look a little bit like a '70's telecaster bass , the headstock is the wrong shape for a tele , it has a precision logo but is not a precision headstock either (could be a precision neck that's been home chopped into nearly a tele shape)

    The 3 bolt neck plate is correct for a post '72 tele but if the neck was a post '72 tele there would be a bullet truss rod at the headstock (like on a 3 bolt jazz neck) the body and scratch plate "could" be real , ask for more photo's of under the scratch plate and the wiring.

    Also ask for phot's of the neck off , If it is a P bass (or cheap copy) neck you'll be able to see where the 4 screws used to be before it was fitted to this 3 bolt body

    .........then walk away :)

    Anyways here is the list!

    • The Associates - Party Fears 2

    • Orange Juice - Rip It Up

    • Aztec Camera - Oblivious

    • The Proclaimers - Sunshine On Leith

    • Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey

    • Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken

    • Danny Wilson - Mary’s Prayer

    • Deacon Blue - Dignity

    • Bronski Beat - SmallTownBoy

    • Blue Nile - Tinsletown In The Rain

    they discussed including a wet's song for the eighties and decided not to , they will probably include them for the wedding song in the 90's programme next week

  8. can I just say that I shared a dressing room and a large bowl of smarties with Claire Grogan (and the rest of altered images) when my band supported them when they played in Aberdeen in the early eighties :cool:

    .........I wonder if Happy Birthday will be one of next weeks tracks ?? :)

  9. The factory electrics on this model consists of a piezo under the bone part of the bridge and a pencil type pre-amp and socket powered by a 9v battery (it's a fishman gold) , there is no volume control or EQ on the guitar just a balanced output , plug into an outboard pre-amp or straight into the desk , if it sounds good enough for Eric I don't think anyone else will be dissapointed ;)
