FS-1973 Gibson Les Paul Custom '54 Reissue

[thefishingline]

I am not questioned his right to ask it...as a collector I am stating I think it is too high a price and I have offered some facts to support that...no need to pm at all...I am sure there may have been some browsing here that wanted to know if that was high or not...or a good price...now they know.

..and you felt it necessary to crap on his listing. Frankly, it shows a complete lack of class on your part to publicly sabotage Gavin's sale, regardless of whether or not your assessment is factually correct.

Your knowledge is not in question, your lack of tact is. If someone is willing to pay his asking price, they'll pay it. If his price is too high, it won't sell. That's how capitalism works. The market will take care of it all by itself, it doesn't need your help, nor do we, the poor uninformed masses.

Gavin hasn't gone into any of your threads with comments on your asking prices, try and pay him the same courtesy. End of rant.

Gavin, great looking axe, wish I had the scratch, that model is my favorite, save for the '54 originals!!! Best I can do for you is a bump.

now your just being a butthole about it... do the right thing from now on....

If you say so...

people here question the prices on E Bay listings ALL the time...and even criticize sellers for stupid comments etc etc etc...just because a classified is listed here does not make it immune to scrutiny...or question

people come to these boards to learn and if by learning that means a price of a listed item is commented on than so be it...if commenting on the price of an item with no facts to back it up or with no experience in collecting, selling or buying guitars..then you may have a point...BUT you don't... because admitidally those commenting admit they don't have a clue...

I happen to have an idea on this matter and am voicing my opinion...and with facts and expiernce as well. Sorry if it upsets you or your friend's post..

but it is what it is and it is high for that item and especially in this market...

 

[captain tightpants]

No class whatsoever.

...I'll ask once again...

Mike,

I don't come here very often and that is why I asked people in my first post to contact me if you have a question. Tire kickers ask the same question multiple time over a 9 day period. If you truely wanted to know and were interested in the guitar I'd have had a email in my inbox and I would have forwarded you my phone number so that we could talk.

Fish,

I priced the guitar $800 cheaper than one in the exact condition sold on eBay 3 weeks ago with 21 bids at an ending price of $5800. I'm sorry that you feel that its not worth that amount of money...to you. I have no doubt that those people who know what this guitar is, know its value. Thanks for helping to keep my thread at the top!

I didn't realize my PM wasn't activated an my email doesn't show. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll get that fixed though I've posted my email in 3 post within this thread (1st, 7th and 8th). [email protected]

off to activate my PM/email!!!

 

[captain tightpants]

It's because you don't have enough posts yet, PM's won't work until you do.

 

[Mike60]

...Gavin...I'll drop you an email later today...

Alright, thanks for the info. I just tried to search and couldn't find a way to activate it. I have fixed my email though.

 

[captain tightpants]

No problem. I think it's a 100 post minimum if I remember right. They put it in place a few months ago because of some problems with spammers.

Good luck with the sale, wish I could afford it. Will you take $10 a week for the next 500 weeks?!!!

I was tempted to ask the same question

 

[captain tightpants]

Never hurts to ask!!!

Did it have anything to do with wanting to purchase the guitar?
