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!

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?

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