Beware this super sketchy Murphy lab r7 a pawn shop is selling on eBay

Don’t worry a local guitar shop of theirs said it’s real. Don’t mind the hand drawn coa or serial. Or totally incorrect nut binding.

Would you be happy with a top like this on your new $6000 r9?

Gibson has been pumping out disappointing tops for a while. I just saw this on reverb and thought it was an r8, but no it's an r9. I can't imagine someone paying the price they're charging used let alone $6k+ originally.

Reminder to block and move on if a sale starts going south. almost no deal is worth a neg.

Even if i went through with this sale I was going to get a neg, so I preemptively blocked him and deleted the listing. what would you have done?

Reminder to insure your stuff-especially a $7000 guitar

Bought it from eBay and I’ve never seen this level of damage before on a guitar. It must’ve been pierced by a forklift or a sorting machine got to it. The box and case are destroyed. Case is somewhat hard to fix. And the finish got dinged but no other major damage.

I learned that he didn’t insure it…the case alone is like $500 and the finish restoration is at least that amount too.

Last Tuesday, I saw a great deal on a Private Stock PRS guitar and I wanted to get some points on it, so I explored what cards gave instant numbers. I quickly settled on the Bilt card as I also have a nearly $1M mortgage on a less than 1000 sqft home–thank you San Francisco!

After I got approved, I tried to buy the guitar and immediately got blocked. Soon after I got an email from Cardless asking me to send a pic of my face while holding my DL, which I responded to immediately. This was over a week ago now, after multiple requests for responses on my end, and finally receiving the card in the mail too on Saturday, I still haven't heard anything.

How long should I expect to hear from Cardless? How do you guys escalate your cases? If this is the status quo, can I cancel this card and get the af back still?
