cmatthes Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 OK ... I've went back on my newly listed F/S 2005 Dean Z Time Capsuleand removed ALL offending terms, comments, cliche selling jargon, and generally over-used guitar marketing B.S. Although, my weak attempt at pitching said guitar may contain a few borderline hyperboles. Now ... somebody buy the fuggin thing! Well, I DID want that one, but now, it apparently no longer plays like buttah. Whatever "buttah" is.

Ting Ho Dung Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 It appears Rugby1970 is the Rip Van Winkle on the HFC. LOL Bumps thread from 2007 to 2013. I did that on a fishing report once.
sixesandsevens Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I can't believe that for a six year old thread ALL of these are still in widespread use!

I did that on a fishing report once.I didn't think anyone would notice. Once I saw the "creamy lard" thing I just had to post it somewhere. The picture in my mind's eye: my guitar neck playing like creamy lard!!
hectorp Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 10) "Set up by expert luthier '_____________________________' here in '________________________'" really means that the intonation was set some time in the last year, but it does not mean that it will suit the buyer's preferences or climate. Maybe half of the stuff we put in descriptions comes from experiences in which we got burned.If I do take the trouble to have something set up by a luthier, the reason I would mention it on eBay is because once I had a guy pressure me into paying a luthier's set up bill after he got the guitar because he didn't like the way it played. Like Humongus in the Road Warrior "I'm a reasonable man" and all my guitars play just fine...but I didn't want to risk some stranger posting nasty feedback, so I paid him off.

MCChris Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 once I had a guy pressure me into paying a luthier's set up bill after he got the guitar because he didn't like the way it playedSuch a horseshit nickel-and-dime tactic. How can a seller predict how a buyer will like the way a guitar plays and have it set up accordingly? Hell, even taking your own guitar to someone yourself for a set-up won't guarantee you get it back the way you like it.eBay sucks.
rugby1970 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Another classic:"Just blow on the strings and she will play herselfNot a virgin but only gently played in a home as you can see by the excellent condition of the original caseincludes strap locks and case key".This stuff knocks me out!
