What did I buy?

[idsnowdog]

It's a Schecter Diamond series something that looks like an Avenger but I'm not sure what it is? I figured it would be a decent refinish project or at least parts for $85

 

[Artie]

Wow. Nice score. You can't beat a Schecter for $85.

What does the trus cover say?

 

[Chris Pile]

Synyster Gates?

I can't tell from the photo I will have to wait until it gets here.

Looks like an early-to-mid-'00s Avenger to me. Not sure why it's a mystery?

I figured it was an avenger but I wasn't able to find a picture of one with a reverse headstock that wasn't a 7-string.

 

[Masta' C]

Gotta pic of the whole thing?

Those really early Schecters felt a bit less refined than the new ones, but they are great guitars. $85 is a steal!

I've always wanted an Avenger. Definitely a nice score!

Looks like an A6FR...

Don't buy anything on Mercari. You think you're getting a screaming deal on something and then the seller goes dark and won't ship what you've bought. Luckily you don't lose any money because they don't get paid until you receive your item but it's just a pain in the taint to deal with. I have received three refunds because the sellers have chickened out. Nothing but a bunch of flakes!

So, you never received it? You got a refund already? Looks like it's only been a week or so.

The seller said she was shipping but the tracking number never updated. When I asked for the status of the guitar she never responded. If they don't send within three days you can ask for a refund. That's the pattern with that site. They list something and then they never ship and wont respond to your requests.

 

[GuitarDoc]

Sorry dog. I'm glad I've never heard of that site. All it would take is one deal like that and I'd be gone forever from using it.
