Just a few of my thoughts here about guides. I have used guides to do some research, get information, and other peoples opinions on most anything I'm looking to bid on. I thought that I might too add to this forum as a way to help someone else as I have been helped. Most information is valid and the person writing the guide is just trying to be helpful. Then there's the person who wouldn't know Jack if it hit em in the face. Or worse, the one who never has anything good to say to anyone or anything, if the opinion is opposite of theirs. I think the proof is in the pudding. Look at other items being sold on eBay that relates to yours, case in point. If I am selling a Crate Vintage Club 50 amplifier and it gets rave reviews from everyone but one person that should tell you something about that "other persons" review. Maybe that person had a bad experience, but you shouldn't discount the other 99% in favor of the item. The guides are what they are, guides from people trying to be helpful except for a few individuals. (there's always someone) Thanks for your time I hope I added something of value here.
