CUSTOM MADE GUITAR /THE BEST

Either this is totally insane or I'm missing something.

This is the second add I've seen today with outrageous prices with a vague description. And it is not the same seller.

Maybe I should gather up some of my junk and post them as $20,000 collector items. All I need in one sucker.

UPDATE: Item was ended and then listed again. Pointed link to new listing.

A $1000 guitar, $174,000 worth of hype.

The "RIP- RAVI SHANAR" (can't even get the spelling correct) in a size 30 font was particularly vulgar.

"Topscore" may have been ok, but "Toppscore" was banned.

Let's not go there. Sorry I mentioned his name.

If I read it correctly then the shipping adds another 100,000 ... but of course it's hand delivered.
