Thanks Kaia

Wow! Thanks Kaia. This one should go through the roof. I wonder just how high it will go?

I hope the emperor doesn't see this...

Of course, it has crossed my mind that this could be the mother of all scams! I read her feedback though, and I think it is legit!

It does give me some ideas--------I would never scam anyone, but you could, and why post the question offering 1500.00? ......and then leave for the weekend? Anyway, fun to watch!

If it isn't a scam, it's a huge combination of coincidences...

Can you imagine all the people trying to desperately reach "Margaret" before she sells it locally for a hundred pounds...

But she's away for the weekend, pondering whether to give it to the kids to play with...

Kaia, the questioner offered $15 thousand...she won't end the auction early. Methinks this is a prank.

Nah... it's too ridiculous to be a scam! Methinks.

I think it is suspicious that she seems to have a guitar stand...............if that is what it is pictured on. I can imagine that she doesn't believe the 15K offer, who would if you didn't know guitars, but why post it?

Actually, after reading farther through this person's feedback, they have sold too much equipment to not have ANY idea about this guitar if it is real. Can't wait to see what happens...........

I agree with you, Kaia about the stand. It's a modern a-frame stand at that.

"I hope the emperor doesn't see this..."

If it's legit, he probably couldn't afford it in the end.

I bet the final price is a whole lot less than $15,000.

As Kaia has already said, the previously sold items ruin the innocent image.
Of particular note is the pretty knowledgeable description of the latest "Keeley modded Ibanez Tube Screamer".
There's absolutely no way someone as innocent of musical gear as they claim to be could have had anything to do with that sale.

Yeah and who goes around buying a pedal case that the Black Crowes ordered and never picked up? Says he planned to fill it up with the gear the band that did buy it used. To my mind, that is a pretty obscure item that only a musician, not even a collector, would be interested in! I guess there could be more than one user on this ID.......

Also, how are they advertising it in their local? At what price, I mean? That would be interesting. Someone needs to Google their local rag--I will do it later.

Something's not right about this one...
