Brentrocks Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 I was browsing HAMER USA on ebay....saw a nice Korina Standard, $1650 OBO.........1650 is a good price anyway. I thought, WTF, i will throw a lowball offer down just for kicks. So now i just bought a korina standard for $1400 I'm such an idiot
Steve Haynie Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Yup... "Well, if I could get for that I would..." and then you find out you bought a $1500 hot rod engine part for $300 when you do not own a car in which to install the part. Bargain hunting on eBay can be hazardous. My Fender Tone-Master was bought that way. It was a good amp, but not the expense I needed at the time. It would be nice to have another one day. By, the way... I just bought a hippy jacket this week by putting in what I thought was a low ball bid. It better fit.
cmatthes Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 That is an incredibly good deal for a Korina one.Of course, part of eBay's success is exactly that - the "deal hunters" who have no original intent to buy, but end up winning.
belikerick Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Been there, done that! What a deal though, how bout some pics?!?!
Brentrocks Posted December 1, 2012 Author Posted December 1, 2012 You'll need to paint your toenails mate!That's not my pics. Lol

But I figured there would be no way he would take 1400. That should be a $2100 guitar.
Zelko Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Great score for sure. I have "accidently" bought things on ebay too, putting in bids which I thought would only bump the price up a bit & been very surprised to be the winner.

cynic Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 How many Standards are you going to buy before you figure out you don't want one?

Brentrocks Posted December 1, 2012 Author Posted December 1, 2012 How many Standards are you going to buy before you figure out you don't want one? As soon as killer deals stop laying on my doorstep.

Mmmm.So, of course you whipped out you smartphone, pulled up the HFC site (is it optimized for smartphones?), and asked her; "hey, I'm a big fan of your work, can I have an autograph"?, right?
