I have emailed the guy on the questions at the bottom of the listing to let him know and have also reported it to ebay again. God this gets under my skin.

I think we established it wasn't a status after looking at the pics..... the neck may be... not sure about the body as the neck set was all wrong..... this had been sold previously on here or not as it transpires... but he bought this from Cash converters for £190.00 - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...0114495288

Congrats on saving an unsuspecting buyer!

(if they have more money than sense, maybe they should be left to get on with it, although it's right to challenge the seller).

Thanks for a most interesting and entertaining thread.

Another thing have you seen pics of the charger bass? http://www.status-graphite.com/status/carts3/frames/frame3.htm
you cannot tell me that it dosen't look the same?
even look at the controls inc the jack they are in the same position as mine with the addition of side jack socket.
Cheers.


Either he is so stupid that he actually believes he has a real Status or he just doesn't care.

I've sent an Authenticity complaint to eBay in regards to this bass. I urge everyone who reads this thread to do the same. This seller has to be stopped!



cheers FBMAN.... It's a shame that this has to be the longest thread so far on the Statii web site... really that honor should be something positive to do with Status and all of the members here... still it just shows how strongly we all feel about the situation...

Is this the longest thread in the history of Statii? It makes great reading and congrats to everyone who has been working on this issue. If anyone really wants to buy (or sell...circumvent ebay completely?) lets hope they come here where everyone is a member for the right reasons.
Well done everyone, keep it up.
Status Series II headed, aqua blue, through neck. The first of many?

Well I guess there is nothing stopping us from doing that, but how would we go about that though?

Sellers or Buyers might want to send in pictures; in which case they would have to register which might create a lot of one-shot registrations and/or numerous posts?

We could of course add a specific section for that purpose and add you as a moderator for that section.

What does everyone think?
