The jazzmaster begs the question is it a Fireglo or Jetblack burnt to a crisp.

How about a t-shirt from a living person (NOT Britney) that's at over $2K with over a week left?

It's from Rachel Marsden, ex-gf of Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. It's Jimmy's shirt. And the auction makes interesting reading:

Umm, do some Googling on her. You might not want to be in the same city.

OK, you wanna talk about Ebay sellers playing fast and loose with the old marketing spiel?

Look at the pictures in this auction--for what could be a really cool little bedroom amp, if it wasn't so...er, TRASHED.

Then read the copy. Minor damage to the covering??? Can you say, atom bomb test?

Sheesh!!!

Nice. It looks like a very used car battery with a guitar painted on it.

I thought maybe it was the companion amp to that barbecued Jazzmaster...

Interesting. There are always a few nutty girls like that at our shows, but I think they're usually attracted to the drummer...
