I had an idea a couple weeks ago to write a piece on my blog about Ebay ukulele buying tips. I'm wondering if anyone of you folks have been burned on Ebay like I have and if you'd like to share your tips and/or what you learned from that experience to help me out.
I thought it would be cool to get people to chime in and tell others what to look for, questions to ask the sellers, etc.
The hope is that it might help our fellow ukers to avoid the same fate that many of us have fallen victim to. I'd very much appreciate your tips and story. Thanks!
I've only had this happen to me once...fraudulent pictures were the culprit.
EDIT: Used and Vintage ukes are really what I'm talking about. Something that you haven't had the opportunity to handle and play yourself but has been played and possibly abused. I guess it doesn't have to be exclusive to Ebay, but that's the site that comes to mind when talking about getting burned.
