Ouch... that sucks! Thanks for the heads up.

It's heartbreaking to see that the consignors have little to no protection in bankruptcy cases such as this one.

 

[Cogswell]

oops

 

[GreenBurst]

Thanks.

What's worst is the website is still up.

Yesterday I tipped my friend that MM had a Townshend signature LP in stock as he was looking for one.

How is it "short of" robbery?

It's just a little hard to feel sorry for John Mayer though. And how is a 2004 SRV strat worth $60,000?

 

[Cogswell]

Because it was owned & played by SRV himself.

 

[Xpensive Wino]

Nobody deserves to be ripped off, do they?

Not you, not me, not John Mayer.

This. :3zone

 

[Minibucker]

Because it was owned & played by SRV himself.

In 2004?

 

[JR.Deluxe]

Neat trick. Die in 1990 and play John Mayers SRV strat in 2004. That IS worth $60,000 .

And how is a 2004 SRV strat worth $60,000?

Probably one of the 100 "Number 1" repros done by the CS in 2004.

 

[Cogswell]

In 2004?

And the seller's response is "Hey, look over there!"

Anyone who spends that kind of money on gear has more dollars then sense.

If you have a dollar that is one. It would be 100 sense, so that's more sense, right?
