Man, I would totally answer this dude's ad if it was a geographic fit. I'm the right age, can appreciate his musical choices, and I've only been playing a little over a year ... so this would be ideal. I used to live in PA too, although on the other side of the state.

I LOVE this thread! Keep 'em coming

Im really looking for a music man jpx-7 bfr with a quilted maple top, and piezo. Please if you can send pictures of your guitar and what you would sell it for. No phone number in your email = no response. I am a serious buyer and i pay fair prices and i am very reliable. I will probably be able to pick up depending on my schedule and your location.

Re:-Im looking to buy guitars

Your listing says you are looking to buy USA Gibbons. There are some Gibbons at the zoo but they are not from the USA. I believe most of them are from Borneo and I don't think they are for sale. I would also check whether you require a special permit to buy and sell Gibbons.

Location: ?????

Re : Re:-Im looking to buy guitars


I've got a Gorilla amp I'll sell you as long as you promise to take good care of him. His name is Stanley and he doesn't need a license.

Location: The Zoo
This is quite possibly the funniest thing I've read all day.

How to basically guarantee no one will respond to your ad - no real product description, no address or phone number, and post a pic of random album covers in your 'equipment for sale' ad (note that this is listed as a dealer, not private party)...

The blocks don't look right, and neither do the headstock graphics. And Vancouver's mis-spelled.

This may be a true Gibson but knock offs are abundant.
A few years ago I ordered a Gibson guitar copy as a wall hanger(was way cheap, looks fantastic but plays like crap).
During my email correspondence, the sales girl asked if I wanted "Gibson" on the headstock or something else.

Just saw one from a guy trying to sell some heavy duty, bass guitar cables. I quote "and they look cool too, chicks will love their manly appearance"

Um.....I've never had a woman comment on any of my gear, manly or otherwise, much less my cable.
