All the guitars I'll ever need.... in one go!
« 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:

Wow what a collection. Certainly peculiar sale.

Strange... current bid is "$10K (approx £5,995.56)" - is that for all 20?! :lol:

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

that auction makes me want to cry - I love LP juniors and its a shame to see them wrapped up in cotton wool by vintage collectors.

BKP-forum group buy?  :lol:

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.

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.

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.

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!  :)
