Im such a huge fan of Fenders from the 80's....& this seems like a huge deal 2 me. I had to point this out!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :MESELX:IT

yeah especially with shipping. Usually see American Standard from that time in my area for between $500-$600.

I wonder if the seller got Xhefri's permission to use his name and his comments (taken from this forum, I believe) in this auction?

Hey Xhefri!

My other guitar is a Strat.

am I missing something? $99.00 seems pretty good to me, even with $45.00 shipping. Tell you what, the first five guys that speak up with this model strat I'll buy 'em for $99 plus $50 bucks for shipping and handling. Make that the first ten...

That's exactly what I was wondering too.

I thought I knew which thread the quote had come from (were you like me thinking of the "pot dating" thread?). But it turns out it must be from somewhere else. If it's on this Forum I can't find it.

Again: hey Xhefri? You OK with it?

Cheers - C

Oops, no: I just found the quote. It's on this thread:

http://www.fender.com/community/forums/ ... hp?t=46178

So...

Presumably Forum user curtisjamesmusic is also Ebay seller signedbymary; he bought the guitar in the post above (for "shhhh $500") and is now selling it on? Or am I misreading it?

Cheers - C

At lease the guy was doing some research before selling it unlike alot of people.

So at this moment $153.50 after four bids with nearly five days to go. Let's see if it tops the $500 paid for it...

Cheers - C

......not to mention no charge for the broken strings.

Well, it's now past the $600 mark, so I guess curtisjamesmusic/signedbymary feels it was worth the effort:

Congrats to Trauma, by the way.

I got intouch with Weapon X on Facepalm, he wasn't that worried about it. Infact I think he was keeping a eye on the price considering a bid.

Ol' X never gets too het up about things. A man of extreme patience there. Currently winging his way to Nepal.
Some people will do anything to avoid snow eh
