I thought the same thing myself when I saw it this afternoon.

The photos look like promo photos and nothing is said if the guitar is new or used. If this is a legit auction then someone will get a great guitar for an even better price. (unless the bidding goes through the roof)

I know I sure wouldn't take the chance of it selling low and would have put some kinda reserve or starting bid.

Looks very suspicious to me.

I see ads like this every day on eBay. I routinely ask if the seller has a real picture, a real description, and a real location. I have yet to receive an answer in response to asking that question dozens of times.

You'd think I would learn by now.... :rolleyes:

You know..........I have been on E-Bay for over 5 years or going on it and my first day of joining I did not sell anything of this magnitude nor did I sell anything there for years.

Wait a minute.........the seafood platter is almost ready!

He even joined the same day he put it for sale. I am not saying there is impropriety here but it sure smells of it! :confused:

Note that most of the bidding action has been from other "0" feedback people. Probably going to be a sad start to someone's eBay career.

Either that or all the other zero bidders are shills that this guy has set up.

It's funny how the winning bidder also had a "0" rating!

In my line of work this would be like finding the body still warm and a guy siiting on the curb with a smoking gun saying he had nothing to do with it..........

I wonder if E-Bay checks the status of these mooks if there is a question of dishonesty?

Looking at the bid history, it would seem the shills might have pushed it just a tad too far on this one.

I predict it will either go back up with a 'deadbeat bidder' story, or Mr. Rich090556crwq will be getting a 'second chance' offer outside of the fleaBay system.

If the seller puts this one back on the block check back in a couple of weeks to see if the seller leaves positive feedback for the deadbeat!!

Holy mackeral!!!! Your fish is served, sir.

Yes, the whole thing smells. EBay won't/can't do anything unless someone complains, and even then, I wouldn't bet on it unless there is some proof. They are overwhelmed.
