EDIT: Awww, lame! it wouldn't let me cuz the price is too low XD

 

[Valerus]

Hmm?

 

[Basdyret]

Ha ha, I guess we haven't seen the last optimist yet...!

 

[Valerus]

I guess I missed it.

ORIGINAL SCREWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check my feedback. I have never had a negative as a seller.

Um...first thing he's ever sold, maybe? Just kidding. Looks like he's been at it a while.

He did get $175 for a '78 Fender pick guard. Hmmmm. Must be buyers out there.

 

[bassman1185]

The thing has two offers on it. Good friggin' grief. That's ridiculous.

 

[B.C.]

Yeah, I saw somebody had a 70's era neck going for above 3K. Just for the neck, no way.

Yeah. This guy sold a 1967 Fender precision bass neck project plus tuners for $1200.00. Must be nice.

Its so funny how all these 70's fenders are becomming collectible. That was not a positive era for fender. Sure youll find some great stuff, but youll also find neck pockets you could park a buick in. I understand people pay outragous prices for 50s and 60s parts, cuz you want it to be whole. Why anyone would pay that for a 78 pickguard is beyond me.

Sad thing is some sucker will probably shell out near enough what they are asking for a dated piece of plastic......

I think it is an ebay conspiracy to jack up the prices on these 70's instruments. I better start picking up some 80's basses, cause those are next!

This is just silly. The vintage craze has reached such absurd levels. Soon no one except millionaire collectors can afford a vintage instrument. IT'S A FRIGGIN' PIECE OF PLASTIC!!!

Original screws? How the heck can you be sure of that? I'll tell him what he should screw...

 

[DeanT]

There are no such thing as vintage screws. Go to any Mom & Pop hardware store and you can pick up vintage screws. They probably have been sitting around for 20 years in their bins. Fender screws are nothing special. They use the same screws you can buy at any hardware store. That's why I have to laugh when I see auctions for a set of "vintage" neck screws for $75 or a set of "vintage" pickguard screws for $25.

did anyone notice the "Outstanding Ebay Achievement Award"

 

[bobpond]

"parting out" seems to be the latest thing, at least I had not noticed it before

pickups, neck and body sold separately by the same seller

I guess I see the point, but I don't like it.

Me, too. The upshot is that it removes complete instruments from circulation.

I did!

But all I saw was "Outstanding Idiot of the Year Award".
