The sad truth is that 99% of guitar ads on eBay look like that

Dang. I tried to bid one million dollars for it, and a message popped up that EBAY thought it was a bogus offer! Oh, the humanity!! I'm never going to get a vintage instrument :(

Complaint: I sent cash (as requested). Seller claims he never received it. So I sent the cash again. He still didn't receive it. I'm going to try one more time.

....good for him! I think it's hilarious, I loved the "mirror on the back" with the "really tight screws" and the "white dots?". He obviously and quite eloquently, in his own bizarre way, is poking fun at something we all realize is sometimes a big problem on fleabay. I never have and never will buy anything on there. Yesterday CNN stated Ebay has an overall 70% satisfaction rate......that's supposed to be good?!?!?!

I keep bidding and bidding .... s.o.b won't let me buy that gem hehe

Looks skyward for the big "whhhhyyyyyyyy??????"

I think I might be in love with his girlfriend, Myrtle McNeedle....ok, maybe not, but his website literally had me in tears laughing...My dog came into the room to see what the hell was going on.

That's a nice dumpster he calls a toolshed/home too.

That is Funny !!!

" Six metal knobs at the end of the neck -- one for each string! Turn them with your finger to change the sounds!."

"If you by this guitar you will have to pays the actual shipping and handeling costs which is exatcly $350 ($450 if you are in Candada or Alaska or Hawiai or New Mexico or any other place that is not part of the US of A!). "

This is one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. Especially in view of the 1951 "Loft find tele, with the pearloid pickguard" that some thief is trying to truly sell on UK ebay.
I love the "little white dots ????????"

Go check this out:

You laugh...

I live in West Virginia where a few miles outside my town guys like that are roaming around unsupervised and making babies with their Myrtles. Then they descend on Walmart on Saturday in hordes. Beautiful landscapes though...

yeah I think I read somewhere this guitar used to belong to Miles Davis.

wow that would sure look nice sittin' next to my 1937 Gibson Les Paul -
I'd plug 'em into my prototype 1968 Cyber-Twin!

I keep sendin' the money, but he says he never rec'd it.. LOL!
