Members BlackHatHunter Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 must be made of some super expensive metal or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tweedledee Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 I started a thread a few days ago on this auction because I noticed that the bridge cover was already up to $775 or something. It's insane. They must have thought that they were bidding on the entire guitar. Somebody is going to be really disappointed when that thing arrives in the mail...

Members Blackbelt1 Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 What's really funny is they're going to send an $800 payment without realizing their mistake. Only when the tiny box with a piece of metal inside shows up at the door will they realize what they've done. And they won't even have a guitar to put it on! Man, I'd like to be there to take a photo of the look on their face... Then they'll blame their own lack of reading comprehension on the seller. Go figure. ~Blackbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Milkman1 Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 The thing is, there had to be more than one bidder for it to get up that high. I have to believe the guy knew he was bidding on the part and not the guitar and just didn't care how much it cost. Believe it or not, there are people who buy what they want and have enough money that the price doesn't matter. I'm not one of them, LOL, but I know they exist.

Members Europa760 Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 too a lot of people 800 bucks isnt a lot of dough. you start making 150k + a year and you start and soon you start running out of {censored} that costs a lot of money.

Members fuzztone Posted October 19, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah but everybody on the Rickenbacker forum think that this is hilarious.Another thing is that that bridge cover is in poor condition(its rusty)and Rick collectors don't like "relics".They are all convinced that the people who bid on this thought they were bidding on the guitar.

Members Ancient Mariner Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 Have you seen the level of feedback for those bidders? I've a feeling that they'll just disappear and no payment will ever get made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xupernaut Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 ha ha, just shows that people DO NOT READ AUCTION DESCRIPTIONS or in this case even the titles. a few months back i sold a bike on E-bay i must have had like a dozen questions and they were all about stuff that was clearly explained in the description or the pix.

Members JamesTheScot Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 look at the bid history. it jumped to like $300+ very quickly and kept going up with several bidders involved. i have a hard time believing that many people could misread the ad.

Members Prog Posted October 20, 2005 Members Share Posted October 20, 2005 These morons are thinking they can put together a "vintage parts" guitar and get vintage prices when they sell it. A bunch of vintage parts does not make a vintage guitar. They are just trying to cheat people out of their money and corrupt the true history of instruments. Vintage buyers don't pay top dollar for guitars of questionable heritage. Well, idiots do, but ... The real vintage buyers want to see the original owner, a photo history, and a sales receipt.
