I know a Nigerian prince who would buy this thing for double the asking price... If he's willing to ship it.
Concerning that other sale...
"FLAMBRO EMMETT KELLY JR PORCELAIN FIGURINE - ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN 1986 - SIGNED IN 1989 BY EMMETT KELLY JR HIMSELF - NEVER OUT OF BOX SINCE 1986"
So how did he sign it then? You cut a hole in the box or what?

Well, to be fair, this listing is a new/factory second.

I def sent him a ebay message showing him the price on GC. I cant wait to see what he says. Hehehe. Kinda a dufus.
I've sent him several links showing him that his "research" was bad...he hasn't answered in a few days.
I'm sure by now he's sick of the barrage of emails from us and will probably (hopefully) never try to sell on evilbay again!

LOL this was a response he posted:
Q: Good luck with your auction! Selling a used bass for almost THREE times what it cost new, brilliant!
A: provide the proof please. I have extensively searched this.

And his other auction is pretty classic also:
"DATE OF SIGNATURE ON WOODEN PEDESTAL WAS SMEARED WHEN IT WAS PUT BACK INTO BOX"
"PICTURES SHOW A DATE IN OCTOBER OF 2003 HOWEVER THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN AUGUST 8, 2009 (I'M NOT TOO GOOD WITH A CAMERA)"

Not too good with a few things it seems.
Squier doesn't make a bass that even LISTS for more than $500.
The guy has a pristine feedback record. Clearly he knows squat about guitars. My theory is, he got ripped off badly when he bought the bass and is just trying to cut his losses. (Which begs the question, why won't he tell us where he bought it?)
It only takes one person who doesn't have the smarts or presence of mind to do the 2 minutes of research and see what a rip off this is. Trouble is, that person exists only in the seller's imagination. Caveat emptor!
