GIBSON ES-135 for 80.00 BUCKS~!!! heres the story Next Saturday September 22nd, we play a LONB BOARD contest on JOBOS BEACH PUERTO RICO, so we needed to get some promotional signs on the area. Before getting to ISABELA (2 hours away from home) i stoped in 2 flea markets, to ask for guitars...in one of them a man told me he had a guitar stored somewhere..so we exchange phone numbers and went on to promotional work. The guy calls saying, the brand here is Gibson, and he wanted 60 bucks....so im like! what!!!, ok dont freak out!!! so i reamined calm, and hung up i went on my daily walk and couldn't stop thinking what kind of guy would do such thing, what kind of gibson, an epiphone? what which!! ahh!!!i my curiosity was so {censored}ing built up!!! so i went 45 minutes from home, see the guy (whom i prayed didnt get a hold of internet in the next 12 hours). it was a nice fellow who sayd the guitar was his sons, and was given to him so he could learn, but didnt...i doudt that but, thats his story...he opened the door and there it was..an EPIPHONE DOT CASE, iwas not impresed, but 60 bucks!! was still nice for an epi...the thing got open and ther it was, a real nice closet ES-135, all original and dust smelling...i gave the man80 buck because i felt i was robbing him....so i guess i bought a case with a guitar in it..... i got home after that and cleaned the case and the guitar, re-strong it and it sounds so nice, its a 91 model in black with soaps...i know without pics its not that fun but ill get them rolling..the guitar is perfect working order (anyone with experience, does the switch sound very violent sound when switching?), the finish is super nice, had some dirt but it shinny now... pics on the works.

Members CHOUTMUSIC Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 Great deal! What if the person buying the guitar didn't know the value? You paid the man what he wanted, I don't think it's a bad thing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You paid the man what he wanted, I don't think it's a bad thing at all. exactly why internet is such a nice tool, our friend jorgie bush should have googled before calling "INTELLIGENCE" (they are by far the greates writters of history, histories should i say!"indeed!) the guy was told not to sell it, because it was good. Right off the bat i told him the guitar was nice, american built hollowbody, not too old, and explained how old vintage original instruments are pricey. but he just wanted to get clutter off the house....:eek:im lucky workingmuscian.

Members covertmusic724 Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 just because something is of value to us does not mean that it's of value to someone else. the pawn shop guy got MORE than what he wanted. You're good on the karma. it just means you have to sell me something at a ridiculously cheap price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bt2513 Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 Sometimes I feel like this is middle school. The guy got a great deal on a great guitar and the first post is talking about how he's morally inferior for not paying more than the asking price. If this story had been told 10-12 years ago (well before the height of the information age) I'm betting everyone would be commenting on how good a deal he got. In addition, this guy is in Puerto Rico which puts a SLIGHT geographic limitation on his market. This is the equivalent of going to a yard sale and offering way more than asking price because you feel bad that they don't know what they have. If they are selling below market price because they haven't done their homework then who the hell cares. I got beat up over my SMM purchase but this is ridiculous.
