Overpriced Guitar of the Year?

[antipodean]

Hi all,

Saw this ebay auction ....and thought it might just qualify for the title of "Overpriced Guitar of the Year". Given the seller I don't believe that this is a "fat finger" at work on the keyboard....

Your opinions on this one and any candidates for the title are welcome!

What can I say that you haven't already said, Evan...........

AY CARUMBA!!

Are non-Aussies allowed in this thread?

Yeah, I vote for this being a tad over the top!

Ah, "Margate Ltd" ,the buyer of cheap men's clothing who sells $$$guitars.

Too bad about that thumbrest...someone's kitchen cutting board is missing a piece...

I thought Doc Pottillo's $40,000 '66 Strat would win this title hands down, but I have to admit this one's got him beat. Unbelievable. Have you checked out the rest of the little 'collection' this seller's got on offer? It's like strolling through the priciest neighborhood of the Twilight Zone. A '73 Gibson L5S for $5900? That's insane...what are they doin', runnin' a pawn shop on Rodeo Drive?

This is the same guy who tried selling that 4002 for $16.7K...

Good Grief
We have a winner!

Shirley, you jest!

Has this fella ever sold anything other than haberdashery? At those prices I doubt if I could even afford a vintage pick!

But the shipping is such a deal at only $150.00.

That's because he packs them in old Ralph Lauren shirts and skinny knit ties.

Good one, Paul!

That's because he packs them in old Ralph Lauren shirts...

Ya mean...'Ralph Rueben Lifshitz'?

[jingle_jangle]

Oy, yeah! Dat's the schnorrer...
