Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
I reported a couple of guitars on eBay, thankfully its getting harder. But there are some close calls which I don't like.
No word from Gibson yet, maybe I will try emailing them again.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Thanks guys I managed to withdraw from the sale with kittyrock123, I'd imagine he doesn't really want a fuss to be made so he'd be happy for me to go quietly. I did leave a message with ebay though showing my disappointment in their lack of care for the users of their site.. Whether anyone will actually notice it/care about it is another matter though i guess

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
hey youre up early...
Question - do you think Gibson / Epiphone are actually doing anything about this problem. You guys are doing a lot of (good) work here but do you get the feeling that G & E arent actually doing anything, otherwise surely theyd have guys doing exactly the same thing, but I dont see other auctions being pulled short, only the ones t hat youre reporting, and even then ebay dont seem to be in too much of a hurry to help either... keep up the work man, those last posts where the guys have not bought or are returning guitars is what its for...

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Yeah, why not. You never know. Make sure you show a pic of the receipt from Kittyrock123 to accompany it so I can shove it up Ebay's patootie...

The pickguard screw too close to the edge-always a dead givaway, the Epiphone lettering too fat and too close to the edge, and the crappy advertising lingo.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
Thats a typo. Kittyrock doesn't know he is selling fake guitars. Read the description. Feel free to email Epiphone if you are concerned if the guitar is legit. Or something along those lines.

.About that Horrible Epiphone posted earlier, they should have taken it down, it wasn't even close. I also sent a message to Kittyrock123. I think I will email Gibson again.

Re: The Fake Epiphone Thread!
eBay doesn't care because the money is there. I don't get Gibson though, I am gonna email them tonight though. Let them know about eBay and what they are not doing.
