+1 with Jeff here. I purposely do NOT reveal the serial number if I post up a guitar, or post one for sale because I know there are headhunters looking for serial numbers to register, and I don't choose to have the instrument included in that.
My biggest single complaint is how sales figures are included in the registery. I simply don't see the use in this info. I rarely seen an instance where this figure was realistic, especially since items not reaching the reserve on eBay are marked as "did of sell at $xxxx.xx," when there are many more factors involved. In other words, the registery doesn't tell the whole story.
A registery is one thing and a good idea in theory, but I think certain details take it way too far, especially with collected data not supplied by the owner.

Re: Collected instruments
As far as that's concerned, you'd really be unhappy if you were the owner of a factory made 4004Cii/5. The modified 4004 4-to-5's out there which take a bit hit in value on ebay, get listed in the registry like a factory made 4004Cii/5, killing the value of the factory made ones!collin wrote:My biggest single complaint is how sales figures are included in the registery.

The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS!

Re: Collected instruments
Ooh! That means I should be able to pick up a factory made 4004Cii/5 real cheap then!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Hijacking this thread a bit.... I wish members could at least be required to put what state or country they are from...
