Check out these auctions:

 

First, a Standard Casino for $1300? These sell for $700 in the store:

Then from the same seller, an Inspired by Lennon Sunburt, $999 in the store, he's giving it away at $1,899:

But at least we get to see the hardshell case that comes with it finally....so I guess it's a plus.

From the ad for the Lennon - "I do not play guitar but I like the Beatles especially John and Paul so I bought there simular guitars because I thought it would be cool to set up a fake stage in one of my rooms with guitars and drums on set all ready as if the Beatles were about to walk in for there 1966 concert in Japan, what a cool look..." - do people like this actually exist? The guy is insane, clearly, even if he DID have normal prices on those instruments.

P.T. Barnum is famous for having said "There's a sucker born every minute."

 

H.L. Mencken said "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

 

Or as the old saw tells us, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

 

eBay is conclusive proof that all the above are correct. :D

Trouble with ebay these days is there seem to be a lot of people who have the mindset:

 

"It's on ebay, therefore it's a bargain."

 

It's these people who make ebay a lesser place than it was 5 years ago. There are barely any bargains on there now compared to around 2002 :)
