Hi!
Today ebay deleted both of a.m. listings. One is for a mint 79 Les Paul Reborn LS50 BB, the 2nd for an 04 LS320 in CSB. I posted detailled pics of both in classifieds.
My initial take (and ebay's official answer by email) was that I also listed both at Guitars>Gibsons.
I would agree with their reasoning if there would be a >Tokai part. So far so good.
But here is the disturbing part: I called ebay.de and spent quite some time with them on the phone (and got forwarded a lot). Eventually I learned that a german ebay user (not Gibson) who is also selling Tokais complained that I listed under "Guitar>Gibson".
I don't know how I should rate this, because it would be b?)/&%t out anyway.
There are not too many Tokais out there, so what's the point in competing by "legal" means? There is a market.
Did any one of you ever had a similar experience?
Frankly and openly: I've been mad about this a few hours ago. I am selling 10-12 Tokais to pay for 3 programmers who are building an application that will allow musicians to make a living wihout record-labels.
Good programmers in Actionscript/Flex, C# and SQL don't come cheap nowadays.
I feel really, really sad.
Best, Rupert
