This guy's eBay ad makes a commitment that I don't think he'll back up.
"WHAT YOU SEE PICTURED IS WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE"
that's a lot of stuff for $39.95 shipping

Reminds me of Pilgrim's current for sale ad where he says "in every case, I'll ship for my cost". On a forum with the geographic diversity as this one, that could be expensive

My cost may be $30 to someone in Denver, $200 to our banana-fixated friend overseas.....

... or $600 to countries that have a USPS size restriction that is smaller than the size of a bass. Fedex or UPS international ain't cheap LOL

Al said he'd ship for his cost, not that he would cover the cost. Buyer pays.

I have a dynabass exactly like that! Not a bad bass at all, especially if it ships with the store's inventory
