Don't know where they get $2.4, but I bet they don't

Geez, I can see why it ended up in the dumpster...
Actually, if it's for real, the owner is most fortunate to say the least. I find it strange that anyone would throw a functioning instrument in the trash, but that's how I ended up with a very lovely sounding Flamenco-bodied nylong string guitar. I rarely ever play it, but it has a lovely tone and playes nicely. I won't get 2.4 million for mine either.

Didn't George's rosewood tele go for about a quarter mil? That's a much more valuable instrument , even counting John's "artwork".

The seller, Gary Zimet, has been in jail.

Sorry - Those drawings don't look like anything John Lennon did. Not his style.

No one will buy this. Don't ask me how I can tell, it's just this gut feeling really.

He says he's selling the jerk's autographed album
Look at the "autograph":
IMO that's not John's mark, but it may be an attempt to copy the signature on this well-known verified "last sketch" of Lennon:
