I realize that its a NOS item but look at the price ! I'm friggin RICH ! Time to sell 'em all ! Hee Hee Hey, is that shill I smell ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33043&item=3777005725&rd= 1 Craigjc Username: Craigjc Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2005 - 11:58 am:    Yeah, autions are becoming quite baffling. There's a certain '90s Ibanez on Ebay that's exactly like one I bought last year. The starting bid is twice what I won mine for, and the BIN price is 3 times what I paid. Maybe we're all rich, even if it's not Lawsuit of vintage. Anyone want to give me 3 grand for my RocketRollSr. flying V ? Oops, the pickups aren't original....OK, $2800. ROFL !

Maybe Hoshino wants it back for their museum?

For that kind of money, you could almost buy a real Les Paul... Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2005 - 4:00 pm:    Fist thing I'm gonna due when this auction is over is offer this same guitar to the runner up bidder-I have three of these-two of which are in almost as good condition !

Ibnzplyr Username: Ibnzplyr Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Thursday, January 27, 2005 - 11:02 pm:    I have been watching the auction too because I have the same guitar, but mine's a true lawsuit with the correct headstock with lots of real abalone inlay, and Maxon pickups. Mine has the Ventura label. It has the same star tuners, sandwich construction, maple neck, black inlays, bookmatched striped top. I think it's worth more like $500, not over a grand! The guy is going to pay the money. He paid over a grand for a Ibanez Custom Agent, if you check his purchase history. And it actually might be worth it as the neck has a feel unlike anything I've ever experienced. It's like it's made of metal, as it is so straight, and feels so solid.

I see this as Supply and Demand 101...just aren't a whole lot of NOS MINT ones out there...bound to drive up prices eventually. Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Friday, January 28, 2005 - 1:43 am:    I just paid $600 for a NOS 1960 Crosman airgun that cost $29 back then. $29 that a ten year old did not have back then. I know, I'm crazy. But then, I know someone who just paid over $100,000 for a $4,500 '66 Shelby Mustang. Hmmm, 2000% seems to be the norm. LOL.

Word is out that Japan won't be building guitars any more. The end of an era marks the beginning of a new collectable. Who'da thought '50 Stratocasters would be pulling 5 figures? Who'd thought a Hemi 'Cuda convertible would bring 7 figures? Steve Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 01-2002 Posted on Friday, January 28, 2005 - 7:48 am:    I still think that $1200 is an absurd price, especially given that its not quite NOS....(Note the wear on the bridge and stoppc where you rest your hand when playing-the gold is worn off the edges.
