ServantOfGod Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 What's the deal with this?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Gibson-Hummingbird-Acoustic-Guitar-/181601107459?pt=Guitar&hash=item2a4844fe03 As far as I see is just a standard Hummingbird that worth no more than $3100 brand new.

fumblefingers Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 eBay seems to be a place where people try to find a sucker. Oftentimes, it works. I've seen people pay prices for used goods which are higher than new. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickGibsonDenver Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 They're morons! I just purchased my 2014 in October for $2490. This included a 15% discount because where I bought it, October was "Guitar Month". To recap for anyone who didn't see my intro post, we had some chilly weather here in Denver, humidity went to 22%, and I lost frets 9-13. The local luthier showed that the body sunk below the bridge due to dryness. Fortunately this particular guitar center has a 60 day in house replacement for any reason policy, and it was replaced with a brand new Hummingbird. I keep it in the hard case with gel packets now.

Smurfbird Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 don't be surprised if this "Sold" guitar ends up in another auction in a few weeks -- by the same seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 don't be surprised if this "Sold" guitar ends up in another auction in a few weeks -- by the same seller. You're right - this could either be a fixed sale or a manic buyer driving all the way up, , , for then to back out when reality sinks in. .

62burst Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 The guitar was just recently on eBay without any takers: Looks like the only legit bidder was t***2, in at the starting bid amount, $1,999. OWF; clicking on the "show automatic bids" button on left side of bid history page shows the suspected shill bid by "9***9" made <90min after innocent t***2's bid, testing the honest bidder's max bid amount(?). Can't see why the ridiculous bids after that by the two high bidders. They only have a total of 16 eBay transactions total, between them. More than likely the winning bid will be retracted (hope so; the eBay seller & PayPal fees would be $545?!). Maybe the seller will extend a Second Chance Offer to the legitimate bidder. Or- returning soon to an eBay near you. Either way, this 'Bird smells fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
