Bellends who agree to buy something. Get you to end an auction early, ask loads of stupid questions and then tell you they don't want it cos it doesn't fit

Yeah that's why I was very specific with the part number and exact model it fits so even fooktards can work it out

Ebay excels in attracting dickheads.

I never end an auction early, I just point out politely that it's an auction site if you want it bid for it. If you don't, then just don't.

I only ever do the "But It Now" stuff on eBay. I don't have the patience for bidding, bargaining, or BS.
You think bikers are bad, try the wonderful world of eBay musicians.

musicians in general are just egotistical A***hats with o regard for anyone but themselves, and I can say as 1 with full confidence guitarists are the WORST! So much gear snobbery too haha

You get gear snobbery with bikers though.

In fact you get it with most hobbies. Just look at the cyclist scene.

I think it's human nature, some what to have the best, others want to show off the best that they have.

True but I have never see it as bad in any other hobby as I do with musicians, there seems to be a real money = talent thing with it more so than anything else, I think what makes it with guitars especially is they all feel so different and the cheapest guitar in the world may just work for someone and be there perfect instrument because it so personal but some people will forever tell them that its no good or anything. I dunno its hard to explain but its the reason I stopped playing live music really, there is no support, its all "my band is better than your band, youre using THAT amp???? dude, your bend on the 16th note of that mixolydian lick was a 1/4 flat" childish rubbish.

There are YouTube channels that do reviews of gear that have had to put up videos specifically telling people to stop being Trolls. Its rife in there.

Best advice I ever heard was simply "if you cant play on anything....you cant play" a lot of "musicians" would do well to learn that

I completely get what your swaying Kwacky but I think in most hobbies the few ruin it for the many decent people, unfortunately after nearly 20 years of playing guitar I have to say its the opposite, there a few decent people about but there are far more pr!cks in the music world.

Yeah...but they pale into insignificance next to guitarists....the right guitar will only increase in value over time...bikes almost never do.....and guitars are very "detail-dependent".
And if someone famous even held it momentarily or 'might have' used it on some lame-ass old hippy song from the 70s then God help you!...or the buyer, for that matter.

It's a bigger market....EVERYONE likes music.

Well...except fans of The Smiths.
And reggae.
And blues...it's so depressing.

Tw@s who insist on using the middle lane even when the slow lane is empty forcing everyone get cramped up into the fast lane overtaking idoits. Why do we have 3 lane motorways and only use it as a dual carriage way at best. Fu&king drivers need to go back to school. What use was the new law of lane hogging if no-one takes a blind bit of notice to it.

Tw@s

Always makes me laugh when I get to that 5 lane bit of the M25 and everyone just starts undertaking. Fairly certain they only widened it so they could park more cars.

People who keep crashing..

..3 serious accidents within 10 miles on the M5 near J14 in 1 week, 2 involving deaths, 2 involving lorries hitting central reservations and in one case it went onto the other carriageway

and I see that mobile phone use is back to what it was before they double the points.

No one gives a shit. I reckon about 10% of drivers use their phones whilst driving. It's shocking the number I see when I'm filtering.

Totally agree. Was almost hit of a few months back due to a woman on her phone.....texting! Looking down at her lap where she was hiding her phone. Like I said....tw@s!! Lol

Yep, great idea, put the phone down on your legs so no one can see you using it. You spend as long as you like looking down at your lap while you're doing 60 miles an hour.

not a phone this morning but saw a woman eating something, not sure what it was but it was HUGE, she had both hands off the wheel eating it like you would a burger, couldn't see what as it was still in what looked like a maccyds bag, like the big brown paper bag type, good job a child didn't run out in front of her while she was using both hands to stuff her face!

Well, at that point, whatever the distraction is, it's just distracted driving/driving without DC&A, etc.......phone, food, whinging brat-baby.....you're not giving the road your full attention.....end of

cyclists with a death wish , one pulled out of a side street straight across the 447 about 20 feet in front of me only just missed her - literally inches , glad I didn't panic but i didn't brake just swerved around behind her more reflex than anything else to be honest . I think my heartbeat was matching the rpm for a minute or two afterwards .
