Tips 4 ebay catagories

dawman · Post by **dawman** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 9:45 am

type in Creamware only, then fish through all of these worthless plates, that is where many of the great deals due to improper catagorising lie in wait. I stole an A16 Ultra that way, for there were no other bidders. Also try model #'s and such w/o the Creamware name. Most of the new items on ebay are from people selling cards they know little about, they bought them from a hard up musician 4 peanuts, and are pretending to be knoweldgable on said items. Try asking seller a question like are you registered on the creamware site? what is the serial # and such. I had a guy selling a Scope Pro calling it a Pulsar version 1 plus. WTF? This is good news 4 us buyers of second hand gear. I love the ebay salesman, and neophyte posters 4 their help in this matter, as I have done rather well with their sales. There are a few very knowedgable chaps that are selling something very dear to them though, you just have to grind away with your questions. When the seller becomes offended, it;s because he knows what he's got and usually will not budge, as he has invested heavily in this platform.

Happy Hunting,

BTW, there are ASB's on ebay I hear. Probably JRRShop in SoCal. Try the Creamware only search and see what I mean.

Not intenionally, but any SFP guy wouldn't catagorise his beloved gear in such a way. These people have aquired CW products dirt cheap from some musicians, and hope to make big profit. But by havivg it in a wrong catagory with no reserve on it, no one bids. I stole an A16 ultra for peanuts last winter. So all I can say is happy hunting.

Be Fruitful And Multiply,

I'd rather interpret the fact that scope4live shares his findings here as more of a helping hand to Planet Z-ers than any intention to hurt anyone, whether they ripped off another musician or are just not announcing their goods properly. Not even CW as cards lying unused sell no plugs =)

Yepp That's Right,
I buy second hand SRB's 4 they have no overhead in expense, and One new 15 DSP Prof. to keep CW in the game. Afterall, we are not communists.

Yes and also stand on a firm bid, in other words ( A CW SFP Manual favorite ) place a bid that you think is appropriate 4 your budget, and at the last minute someone will beat you. Usually these people end up not having the money, and ebay notifies you that your " second chance offer " is now the final bid. I just passed on a Scope Professional, with an A16 4 1000 USD, 4 I was the last legitamate bidder. I passed as I already have 2 A16's I don't use, and only have one sold. But I had the chance to steal this, but didn't, 4 I believe he is a legitimate CW fan, and not some pawn scab ripping off a fellow brotha' in arms. Let's see if he responds in this thread. Maybe not. But now he has the chance to re sell these seperately, and get their true value. Anyone who knows me, knows that I always pay extra to the seller if he is a forum member, or a true lover of what we all love,...SFP.

Strength And Honor,

Another fine example of ebay scoring big 4 me. Just bid on a 12U Shockrack from SKB. It had a reserve price, unknown to me. But the bidding started at 200 4 the first bid which was me. The reserve price wasn't met, but I was fishing around. The seller had no other bids I was aware of, but I recieved a second chance offer for the SKB at my origianl bid. This is 80% off of retail price, and an excellant case I might add, so I snagged it, plus 65 dollars shipping. Tis' the season on ebay my friends, as there are so many good deals 4 us, and those like us.
