Scam scum
in Electric Guitars

I disagree - Granted, I don't know the specifics of this transaction, BUT: My Father (a man in his 80's) could not, if his life depended on it, manage to research the worth of an old guitar (or a new one). I love the man, and he aint stupid - but the technology-understanding gap is just too wide. I have tried to assist him with such things and its just a lost battle. He's also from a very different generation than me - in his day, you treated customers, and especially the elderly with respect.
For ANYone to so grotesquely take advantage and knowingly misrepresent the guitars value goes WAAAY beyond bargaining, and into the realm of the truly criminal. And I would fully expect such a case to go before a judge, and the jerks who took advantage would be found guilty of a crime.
