Title: All the guitars I'll ever need.... in one go!
Post by: Philly Q on April 30, 2011, 11:01:24 AM: One of the more bizarre eBay ads I've ever seen. I think it's legit, but what a strange approach to selling:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190527887168&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123#ht_1125wt_1139 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190527887168&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123#ht_1125wt_1139)

Post by: AndyR on April 30, 2011, 01:25:34 PM: Strange... current bid is "$10K (approx £5,995.56)" - is that for all 20?! :lol:

Sounds like a good deal... Go for it Philly

Aye, that's probably the way to do...

Bizarre ad. 10k the lot, but indifidually proced at about 4k?

Some of the pics look lovely though. Really like the blonde one.

Post by: Keven on May 01, 2011, 09:13:40 AM: mass discount for the dealer or usual discount for the customer, makes sense, even if it feels like a ripoff, once you get used to dealer cost prices, it doesn't look so far fetched.

Post by: Philly Q on May 01, 2011, 01:34:44 PM: I wonder if many people have approached him about individual guitars? He doesn't exactly invite questions, but there's so little to go on, it would be hard to pick out any particular one without loads more info.

I reckon the whole lot will go to a dealer for what will seem like a very low price.

He is a dealer - Gil Southworth from Southworth Guitars - I've bought stuff from him in the past. Strange that he's selling like this.

Post by: Keven on May 01, 2011, 04:50:51 PM: it's a pretty slow period for music dealers, so maybe he's just looking to get some return out of his investment?

Yeah, I realise that. I should've said another dealer! :)

Post by: Sailor Charon on May 03, 2011, 11:10:23 AM: "About" 20? 20 "or so"? Ok, so will he take offers of "about $11,000"? :)
I almost wish I had the money...

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

So what was the point of that? :|

he's had an offer outside of ebay and he's avoiding sellers fees - quite common to use ebay as a shop window. thats why you see some mental-high prices on some items; a certain Music shop ending in 'Ground' comes to mind.
