I was just going to post this myself. How strange is it that 2 are on the 'bay at the same time? I would LOVE to have one of these, they are, in my mind, one of the coolest, rarest Rics ever. And both of these are MINT, looking at the pics. I think, just based on the rarity, I would go for the MG. All others I have seen have been BG. Not to mention it is 10K less.

For a $15K - $25K+ auction, you'd think he'd have more than 1 picture. (Yeah, I know he says a video is available.)

I always cringe when I see people post pictures of their guitars on eBay, because they've always got them standing on some unsmooth surface. That guy put his guitar on a wooden deck? I guess that's better than some of the other pictures I've seen of guitars lying against curbs, on asphalt, on countertops, etc.

Good point, Stuart. The one that drives me nuts is the guy who puts them in his backyard in the grass and lets his Godzillas play with them. I just can't take his auctions seriously.

Steve, I think of the same thing about his auctions.

The first time I found it kinda funny because of how stupid it was, then I noticed he's actually serious about it...

That guy actually had a mint Tuxedo bass laying in the grass with one of his Godzilla toys holding it.
...and if memory serves me correctly, the asking price was a bit high too.

Hahaha I remember that one!

I thought it was a good idea to save that picture...

Looks like he is no longer an ebay member, (at least not under this id).

It certainly drew my attention to the ebay items the id owner was selling. I always remembered them when scanning through the guitar section..

Maybe he needed to sell one of those guitars to pay his eBay bill! Image

I know who that fellow is, by the way (he's a southern Californian like me). I bought a BC Rich custom "bat bass" autographed by John Entwistle from him, in the days before Godzilla invaded his pictures.

I am certainly glad I bought my 331LS when I did for the price I did, in spite of it needing some work.
