More reasonable if it's a real one.........you are protected with paypal/ebay if it's a fake

Why would anyone pay 3-4 thousand for a guitar they could have for $400?!  Only answer is, they didn't know it was a knock off.  A kid saving up money busting buns to buy or a starving musician looking not only to upgrade, but to treasure the rarity for bragging rights or future flip for profit or trade.

Best we look out for each other here.  This IS a more rocking section of the forum. big_smile

I would never buy/pay for a fake guitar.....I agree w/you if it's fake the value is only a couple of hundred if that much...

But like I said: Buying on  Ebay/Paypal...The Buyer is Protected

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually.........

Buyer is protected if they KNOW and can PROVE they have been duped...and within WHAT time frame? 

I am taking a pot shot at eBay.  The site surely skims off a profit from fraud, no matter how marginal it could ever be proven in a court of law.  Real world: Like calling the cops in a big city who are busy with more important....you know the rest. 

Buyer Beware?  Try buyer be Scare, Duh! yikes
