| Duncan, Duncan, Duncan(I say shaking my head from side to side)!!!! why do you assume that I am a male!!! HaHa!!! Don't feel bad. I think that this makes the 3rd time on the 3rd forum that my identity has been mistaken for a man. Let me assure you that if you saw me in person, you would not make that mistake!!!! But I do appreciate you guys and hopefully some more gals are here, looking out for me!!!! That serial number does bother me !!! I am trying to hold out for a 1687-8 (Blueburst) finish !!!! By the way, anyone know what year this serial # ='s ? |

| Hey Serge, looks like Hector has placed an ad on Harmony Central Classifieds for the adamas that he refused to sell to you. Says he wants to get $15000!!!! Search classifieds under Adamas!!!! |

Location: Phoenix AZ | The real interesting question is how Guitar Center ended up with an early Adamas I. What do you suppose somebody traded it in for. Martin? Taylor? Larrivee? |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | In GC's defense (on this auction) I emailed him to let him know the difference between the guitar that ran last week (the slothead) and the one he was selling, along with an approximate value. He immediately apologized and revised the listing.

Not me but I am aware of a couple of other guys who also emailed him. Poor guy.
Looks like a good opportunity for someone. At least GC will honor an auction. |

Just a guess, but this just might be the motivation for leaving negative feedback for Serge.
Moody, do I get my secret decoder badge, now? ;)
Serge, print out every one of Hector's posts here and get them to eBay with your complaint. Just my $0.02. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | The seller did NOT have to leave negative feedback for Serge to get his refund of the auction from eBay. That is a separate thing. He DOES have to go through a process of "Payment Reminder", then "Warning of Non-Paying Bidder", and then "Refund of Auction Value". Been there, done that. Not 100% sure of the terminology, as it has been a year or so since I've had to do it, I've had very good buyers lately.
Leaving negative feedback for Serge was the seller just being a jerk. I feel bad for Serge, he certainly did not deserve it. THREE refunds to a seller and you are banned from eBay. Negative feedback has NOTHING to do with it. It is when eBay loses money from a buyer's actions that they take action.

Interesting, I did not know that, so perhaps should have remained silent on the thread. My supposition was that it would have been easier for the seller to claim a refund if they could 'claim' that the buyer was a deadbeat and had left negative feedback...playing it for what it's worth.
Further, I did not know that if eBay refunds fees to a seller three times that the get banned. But, what does banned really mean? Can the same person not just open a new account with a different ID? Or does eBay have some way of tracking individuals? I'd guess they don't, based on the number of scam sellers, shill bidders and bid shielders that keep popping up time after time. |
