Studio Custom

Um.......

I'm hoping this was earlier in the week.

Some people have too much free time on their hands.

I believe I speak for the entire group when I say, thank you for sharing.

Something about this post leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The over/under is 7 months.

Apparently, as people email me with inquires to buy guitars often.

Unless we are talking Babe Ruth, most of these celebrity owned collectibles will decrease in value over time. Dean Martin was loved by millions, but are there people clamoring for his stuff today, or has that ship sailed? I am under no illusion my Steve Stevens collection will be worth more in twenty years than it is right now. Who would be the buyers? The once interest parties would be downsizing or going into a nursing home then.

Yeah when you buy a new car for 15k. Here’s s one I have in that finish:

He was just in Boston for the Axe Fest.

You offered $700, which is at best, 25% of its value. Maybe you did not know the guitar's value when you started this journey, but now you do, so its time to decide if it worth that much to you.

May I recommend Visa or MasterCard? They are in the I want it now, but don't have the money, business.

Over the years I have been contacted by several people who want to buy a guitar from my collection, but rarely do they want to pay fair market value. They will tell me why they had to sell, and how I'm supposed to sell it back to them for 1/2 of what I paid for it, because that is what they sold for in their desperation a decade previous. Someone has reached out to me to buy a Barney Rubble SSI many times, he is convinced he would be over paying at $1,500. 🤣 He had one back in the day, so I guess I owe him? When I had the five Virtuosos people would routinely offer me a grand each for them, to take them off my hands. Just ignore the nonsense.

You do not owe this person anything, regardless of his sob story. He doesn’t know or want to know the true value, that’s on him. You tried to do the right thing, case closed.

And you have no obligation to do so.
