Members Funkwire Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 It's depressing. I don't fault the guy for trying to make money...having a child with a catastrophic illness will drain the bank balance of the majority of people. But the ad is pharased, shall we say, inelegantly.

Members THX1138 Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 I dunno man. First knee jerk, yeah I can see where it looks a little cold and wtf. But, the shock of loss and grieving process doesn't lessen the many associated medical bills that have to be paid. Not saying that's the reason, but it wouldn't surprise me.

But the ad is pharased, shall we say, inelegantly. I think that's it.. the last part "Thanks for Bidding!" just really drove it home, and had me wondering if the whole thing isn't a scam. Very poorly written. As the parent of a special needs kid, yeah, $$ is tough, but I don't think I'd sell the guitar by even mentioning how I got it, other than "thru a charity" maybe..

Members WynnD Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm not even sure why this bothers me, but it just has me at and Just comes off as horrible to me, you decide. http://reading.craigslist.org/msg/2832373651.html Possibly because the seller could be lying through his teeth? (or computer in this case.) Doesn't $6500 sound like quite a bit for that guitar, even if his story is true and verifiable? (I'm not a guitarist, so it just seems pricy.)

Moderators BATCAT Posted February 3, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 3, 2012 Awkward. Signed guitar comes complete with a... signed guitar. That's good at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zon5string Posted February 3, 2012 Members Share Posted February 3, 2012 Signed by a country singer with 4 studio albums who had a #9 Country chart single 11 years ago. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metronome_jones Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 If its true, he could've simply stated what the instrument is, who it belonged to, and that it was autographed. As it stands you can either take him as a seller w/ zero sales skills. Or he basically pasted his Ebay ad on Craigslist after it, go figure!, failed to sell on Ebay. EIther way, dude's toying with kharmic retribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
