RaSTuS Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Regardless, the way he finishes the description with the statement "ITEM SOLD AS IS" might explain the lack of photos, it mightn't have a headstock to take a pic of, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were Casino's ever made in this finish? Just asking cause I've never seen one. The Answer is YES!!!! Casino DO be made in Pelham Blue!!!

Looks like Ebay Seller snatched that Photo off the Shortscale.org website, Post #3, dated 28 June 2011. For Shame, For Shame..... EDIT: Unless by PURE COINCIDENCE they and the Short-scale.org poster are one and the same...

Just asking cause I've never seen one. The Peerless factory did do some interesting colors from time to time. There's an aqua colored '97 Peerless Riviera on Gbase right now that's going for $849, and it's listed as near mint. Even though the Casino you're asking about is somewhat unique, I personally would not pay such a steep upcharge just for the color. At that asking price, you're getting into used Elitist Casino territory, or a used Gibson ES-135 with P-100s, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm? http://www.shortscal...e69d2b1212c51d5 Totally different names, no similarity whatever, usually someone sticks to a name (real, imagined or concocted), or variations of it, for their online presence.

brianh Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 That's the sketchiest ad for $1000 guitar I've ever seen on eBay. A single pirated photo, minimal description, no serial number, 4 sentence description, and no provenance. I'd guess it's likely to be stolen, marked 2ND, stamped USED, or otherwise defective.

It's getting interesting..... Decided to check out the PB Casino seller's "Feedback as a Seller", saw they are doing a fair number of Geet sales. Then went to "Feedback as a BUYER", and.... HOLEY SMOKES!!!! PB Casino Seller JUST BOUGHT a Pelham Blue Casino on Sep 05, 2011 for BIN of $500.00: http://www.ebay.com/itm/250887014073 Has same lame description, maybe slightly better, and has two pics, one indicating damage. ??? New Seller too Lah-zee to take pics, or describe damage, AND wants immediate $499.00 profit? AMAZING what a trip thru Feedback History can produce!!!!

mgrmatt Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks for the responses. I saw the listing and lokked because I had never seen a Pelham Blue Casino but like you guys the listing seemed to have a rather foul odor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never buy without checking. That's where eBay has it over CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrmatt Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Look what has made it back. More pics and a crazy price to boot! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Pelham-Blue-Epiphone-Casino-Never-seen-another-like-/260862567254?pt=Guitar&hash=item3cbc9ee356 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, but not worth anywhere near $999, considering what that kind of money can buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
