There would be worse investments than this: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Fender-Gibson-Martin-Marshall-Vox-Vintage-NO-Reserve_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ65Q3a10Q7c66Q3a2Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem3ca37d532eQQitemZ260440937262QQptZLHQ5fDefaultDomainQ5f0QQsalenotsupported

But if you add up individual values, I guess it's a very good deal. There are some very rare and expensive guitars and amps and stuff in that list.

Imagine it turning up at you door. you'd need like 3 or 4 big vans!!

I just think its crazy, unless...you want to say "today I spent one million pounds on truckloads of guitar equipment!!"

Who wouldn't?

I agree, if I did have that sort of money I'd grab it for sure!

Note the $50K shipping fee :)

Just a sec, let me check down the back of the sofa, you never know till you look.

Actually I couldn't fit that lot in my flat even if I took everything else out.

Is there a million bucks worth of gear there? The 58 V and the 59 Les Paul I imagine would represent the bulk of the value of that collection. Is the last image of a Martin Dreadnought? If it is, it's not in the list of items being sold.

I imagine the import tax on bringing it to the EU would lessen any potential profit from splitting it up and selling it on.

Nice collection none the less, if it's real.

He'll have just stuck it on ebay to get attention, so that people know that stuff is gonna be for sale. A lot of the serious collecters/re-sellers do it, that and stick ads in mags and stuff, just to word about amongst collecters.

A lot of nice stuff listed, fo' sho'.

That's a great lot of stuff, but if I had a million dollars laying around, I'd honestly feel way more inclined to splurge a fraction of it on handmade guitars and some marshall and diezel amps. But that's just me.

I would take that '58 V off his hands... if only it wasn't a refinish.

Surely a 59 Les Paul goes for at least 300,000?

Imagine buying that... imagine the NGD post... :D
