Very strange auction on Ebay. $3,500 for that?

Sign in to disble this ad
Get a load of this. Somehow I don't think the buyer is going to follow through with his $3,500 bid for an Ibanez SDGR and a Fender Rumble combo.

No wonder people are afraid to buy off the internet.

Au Contrer !!!

I'll bet that the bidders are either the Radio talkshow host and / or his "male girlfriend" , and this is hush money.

Lesson learned, if you want massive amounts of appreciation from the general public and significant monetary rewards for learning bass - well, maybe you should rethink it and just take up golf.

The reason for selling the items is pretty good:

"REASON FOR SELLING THESE BEAUTIFUL ITEMS. aforementioned talk show host decided to have his girlfriend play bass guitar.No not his love interest, his male girlfriend."

I heard someone once sold a napkin with "Jimi Hendrix" written on it. A fake, of course, yet sold for a crazy amount.

The craziest thing about this is that people are actually bidding on it.

The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.
