Dagwood Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Better than the Squier I saw on CL today. $400 w/ a 10w frontman amp....hahahaha. RIGHT!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst1281733995 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Geeeeze... That's worse than the guy who paid $1700 for a Supernova! Ordinarily, I wouldn't care, but the fact that he's presenting that as ANY kind of collector's item is unconscionable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daneman Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'd give him $50 for it. I like those metal strats. And I'd finally build my Clock. / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikOlas Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Don't be so hard on the guy. Maybe he's trying to get some money together to buy a car. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larkin38 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Could the decimal point be in the wrong place? $16.00 would be more like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonk Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 This one gets me: "KEEP IN MIND THE CASE AND THE SHIPPING ALONE ARE A $200 VALUE!" And this one: "BEEN SEARCHING THE WEB FOR ONE THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND COULDN'T FIND ANY.....NOT EVEN ONE IN BAD SHAPE" This moron doesn't know about google I guess. Heres what I found on the "old" Epiphone forum though (Posted by GuitarManXLNT): "I have a 1999 edition Blue Book of Values, but the only info it has is Mfg'd. from 1989-1992 & has a Floyd Rose Trem system. Original retail price was $599.00. Book shows 100% Mint @ $395; 98% @$350; 95% @$300. Keep in mind, this is the 1999 version of the book, but may give you some kind of idea.

kevin134 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 found one on craigslist for $120, so 1600 seems quite a ripoff. Found a Epi LP Standard there too with Les Paul's autograph for $800, includes a certificate of authenticity even http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/msg/557189418.html I'm gonna pass on that one too...

sexygibson Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 He states this model was only built for 1 1/2 to 2 years. Even at that rate, Epi would have built thousands upon thousands of these guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 There's a sucker born every minute. I feel sorry for the bidder :-( Perhaps I should sell my imitation Fender J Bass for $20,000 - it's a collector's item (unfortunately all it collects is dust).

Notes[/quote'] Haha, I have several collector's items if that is the criteria! And just for the record, it looks like someone made an offer, not placed a bid. An offer can be for any amount. In this case, it shows the 'bidder' retracted his offer with the explanation that he/she entered the wrong amount. Maybe he or she saw this thread and saved a few would-be wasted dollars.

CodeMonk Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 You should send that to the Poor Sap who bidded........ =P~ I'm guessing the "poor sap" that bid on it is the same one that is selling it, just under a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedgeSG Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Checked the bid list after it ended: STATES- One offer, RETRACTED, entered wrong amount. Guess the decimal point did turn out to be a factor after all. Wasn't there a forum member looking for one of these things the other day and he posted the auction listing for one in white? Maybe it was a different model... wonder if he won the one he alerted so many to. Still, I wouldn't turn him on to this: just in case his GAS might have reached critical mass. I truly wonder how some folks arrive at their prices... must be all that quality information coming from GuitarCenter experts set on various cell phone speed dials.
