Dear guys,

I'm writing this just because I would like to receive your personal opinion.

I was about to buy a real good Kramer...a few days ago, I was posting my bid, time left was 13 minutes

and then, just right before I was placing my bid, the guitar disappeared from the screen. :mad:

It was removed from the list of guitars :mad:

I also checked that on many guitars, starting from $50, and arriving to $750, the bidder is always the same ... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

why keep bidding always on the same item, when no one else is bidding?? :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus: :sus:

I think someone on e-bay have fun joking with people. :sus: It wasn't a good experience to me.

If you'd find a good original kramer (from the 80s), not more than 250 dollars, pm me.

I don't think I will use e-bay for anything anymore.

Thanks for reading

Maybe the guy selling it doesn't like the bids (not high enough), so he cancels the auction just before it's scheduled to end.

I think this is against eBay rules, but maybe you can still do it and not get in trouble. Not really sure...

I'm always cautious of ebay bids when there's only two people in for it and everyday they keep bidding against each other :sus: always seems as if one's taking the other for a ride.
My rule of thumb with ebay is work out how much your willing to spend to get it, then place your first bid in the last min of the auction.

That place still worries the hell out of me when you're paying big bucks.

There was some dude on there last week selling two Kramer Baretta's together for around $3500. Such awesome guitars, but not $3500 for the pair, waaay too much.

I've had my eye on a couple of Wolfgangs on ebay the past few months. While it's tempting to buy one on there part of me has a "don't buy the cow without drinking the milk" thought on it. Kind of like buying a car on there but never test driving it.

I bought a mint (still wrapped in plastic) Wolfgang Special in 2006 off ebay. Spent about six months bidding on different wolfies before I finally got one. I agree - set a price you're willing to pay and keep at it. Eventually you'll probably get what you want.

And of course - caveat emptor - buyer beware - if a deal sounds to good to be true....................

I bought my Wolfgang STD on ebay about 6 years ago. It is the best guitar I have owned to this date.. ( out of about 30 guitars in a lifetime). I bought it online ebay for 675 with a Hs, and the Wolfie strap.

You can find good deals. Just ask questions and make sure the seller has good feedback. I have also bought guitars from ebay that have holes in the body. Be sure to know if there is a refund on
something that was not described.

I sold my charvel model 5 on ebay back a few years ago....keep looking...you'll find what you're looking for....you just have to hold out. Not everyone is a snake on ebay!

Yep, I agree. It can definitely work out, I have bought two sweet guitars off Ebay. Set your price and don't get caught in a bidding war! Keep looking, heck man half the fun is just looking at all the guitars you want!!
