Similar Experience with used gear on GC website. I asked about a Jag that was priced at $700 in New York. I assumed it was a MIJ Jaguar and turns out it was an AVRI Jaguar! I don't think I have ever reached that fast for my credit card in my life. I had money because I had just sold my PRS a few hours before on eBay. The funny thing was the salesman and the manager both acknowledged it was under priced, but didn't seem to care enough to raise the price. It would not have been ethical for them to raise the price, but they lost about $500 or more on that deal. The main point being that they are not always carefully inspecting what they are selling and sometimes it can be good or bad.

Plaid, when I posted my suggestion I thought they'd done a sort of bait & switch on you.
Glad it turns out you like what you got!

Poop. I got in the Fender knobs I bought off eBay and they don't fit. The knobs currently on it are pull-off knobs and when I placed one of these F knobs on top, there was nothing to hold them in place. It was like the hollow portion of the knob was too large for the area where it was supposed to connect to. Did I get the wrong knobs?

I don't see a screw anywhere. Here's a shot underneath:

Get a bit of that putty epoxy and cram some in there, fit it on your pot, then take it off before it dries. It should mold to the proper fit.

I just checked all the ones I bought from Haze and they have the tightening screw on the side. If your's don't have it I am surprised. What does the side look like?

They have tightening screws, but they're not holding the knobs in place. It's like they're too short. This is so damned frustrating.

Purple hearts were a massive contribution to the British war effort in WW2, keeping soldiers buzzing and awake on the front lines. They also stimulated mods in the 60s as a recreational drug; case in point.
