GUITAR DEAL OF THE YEAR!

[Securb]

Check out the rest of his store. If you want a broken tape deck, he is your guy. I want to send him a message saying I want to write a check for the whole lot, give me a number.

The seller is also charging $25 for shipping because he is going to package it so well that it won't get scratched during shipping.

I'd want it at least double boxed.

I'm going to message and ask how it sounds.

[Chistopher]

I'm not usually one to doubt the condition of an object advertised as "nonfunctioning", but at this point can it really be argued that it has a function?

[GuitarDoc]

He seems to like to sell a lot of old non-functioning JUNK (some of the stuff, he doesn't even know what it is or what it came off of) that really has NO value. And he figures it will sell if he puts a price tag of 10-100 times what it would have sold for brand new...as if old, worn out, broken down, non-functioning, useless makes it more valuable. Like old used cloth or plastic (Naugahyde) guitar straps which sold new for $1-3, he wants up to $170. (I still have some of those cloth straps from the 60s that cost me $1.99 new).

I think he must figure that if he only sells just one item to some sucker he has made his profit for the whole lot.

Put them on eBay hipsters and Blues Lawyers pay top dollar for those vintage straps. If you have a vintage amp and guitar, you need the period-correct strap to go with it.

Well inflation had changed the $1.99 from the 60s
it's now adjusted to $190.0

Or there abouts

So he wants brand new price

Most of that stuff can be found new on ebay for $5 or less

[GuitarStv]

Those are vintage aged relic straps though. The guitar world has been taught that crappy junk that someone didn't take proper care of is worth more for some reason.

and we all know the right strap is the key to good tone

..and where's the strap going to go?

[Securb]

I wonder if the guy would consider trades? I have a bag of sawdust I am willing to part with.

[ehdwuld]

I will be happy to throw in some bowl brownies

Are you really willing to trade down like that?
