@JerkMoans How are things going with the Cascade. Any decisions made on its fate?

Wotcher. Been run ragged with the intersection of work going mental, daughter setting up a baking business AND arrival of new pupster, and have only today sat down and had a real think.

Conclusion: think it's going back. The thing is fairly lifeless, although that is likely to have a lot to do with the ancient strings on it, but there's no X factor, at all. Think the undisclosed issue has burst my bubble, really. Plus, as a serial gear tart, I doubt I'd get what I spent if I flipped it, as I certainly couldn't /wouldn't try to hide the issue and the probable cause.

My first engagement with the eBay 'Money Back Guarantee'. Let's see where this rabbit hole leads...

Hi, sounds like you have more than enough going on in the real world.
I don't think you will regret your decision to return it. I would feel it difficult to bond with such a misdescribed item.
It's like buying a really nice second hand car and then finding that it was an undisclosed insurance salvage job.
Looking forward to hearing about the consequences of the next boozy Sunday lunch

Bloke trying to assert he did tell me about the Bridge Doctor and did send me photos of it, after I asked.

Pity all correspondence was in writing, via eBay

Silly ploy. He should simply accept the return with some dignity.

In an exciting update, albeit that the instrument is on its way back (tracked, etc), my vendor wishes to place the return 'on hold' so that he can get the guitar checked out as he's never heard of a bridge doctor.

Fair enough. Maybe he was punked when he bought it.

Except he wants to get t checked out by guitar guitar. Which is apparently closed. Because Covid. (in fairness, he's in Scotland, where stores are indeed shut).

So I think the strategy is I wait till the end of time until someone condescends to confirm what the array of pictures I've sent already disclose.

Why has no one else on this forum ever warned of the perils of doing business on eBay?

Once it's been confirmed as returned you should be able to force a refund via Ebay if he won't do it himself. It would be unwise for him to go down that path since I think it will put a black mark against his account.

Hang on, 'alf a 'mo, I'm more confused than usual.
The vendor is now saying he's never heard of a Bridge Doctor, when he had previously tried to assert that he did tell you about the Bridge Doctor and sent you photos of it after you asked?
This seller isn't based at a large golf course in Aberdeen is he?

Howdy, Stranger!
