cmatthes Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 turnthatcrapdownClassic! Agreed, Ken. Bandname in there somewhere? Whose alternate moniker is that, I wonder. :P That actually went a grand or so higher than I thought originally. Glad that the seller made out as well as he did instead of getting shorted on a cool guitar. I'm dying to know what kind of "I'll pay you $X,XXX if you end the auction now and another $XXX if you don't reveal my identity" emails he got...
Feynman Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I think I'd get that eBay MasterCard and take the 15% off.This has been one of the most interesting threads and auctions I've had the pleasure to follow.
serial Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 If I'm not mistaken, the buyer is an HFCer and a great guy to deal with.Congrats on a very cool guitar score! Tags and everything.
acb Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 so maybe this 77 standard wasn't overpriced after all...
Mindseyes Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I thought it would go higher.............I also never thought the auction would make it to the end.Very cool Standard Fo'sho!

Feynman Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Whoever bought it really needs to buy that diecast truck, too. Man, this was a great one to watch. I'm glad the auction didn't get pulled.
acb Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 I think that fugly-assed pickguard hurts it's chances a bit. but that old slab of lumber and one piece neck more than make up for it. turnthecrapdown probably bought that one too after the auction ended without a bid

HamerHokie Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Is that a record?Does anyone keep track? That would be an interesting list.
Hamerica Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I don't actually keep a record but the white Standard was higher and sold. Martin Barre's was higher and sold. The James Honeyman-Scott Standard was higher and sold. There are also several private deals that I have heard about that were higher and sold. The HFC standard price of $350 for a guitar, I guess would equate to $3,500 for 4 digit Standards. If anybody has tracked an actual list where the buyer and seller don't mind informing the public the pricing, I for one would also be interested.I do recall a day when I told someone I would never pay more than $x,xxx for a 4 digit and that day has long come and gone.

bubs_42 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 This was a good one. My internet was out so I missed the end but still it looked to be exciting! I'm just glad that I have one...

Hamerica I actually keep track of stuff like this, but then again, I have no life. Although I DID get recognized at Target tonight by a cashier who asked me if I was in a band and apparently saw the band a few months ago. Wow-I felt like a rock star with no life!

jerseydrew Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 moped? Ahh, the moped Fun to ride, but you don't want to be seen on one! Good one.
