Texsunburst59 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I was doing my normal rounds, when I noticed this on a guitar stand in front of the racks. I saw the $100 price, but I thought for sure it was an MIM. Couldn't believe they were asking $100 for it. Took it to the counter and wanted to haggle because of the scratches and dents around the body. They said it just came out and they wouldn't budge on the price. I asked for the case and they said it didn't come with one. I said it should have one, and I wanted a case. They looked but couldn't find one. I told them they owed me one, and I be checking back later for one. They were OK with that. I haven't had a chance yet to put is through it's paces, but the neck feels great and it doesn't weight a ton. I don't normally post a pic of the receipt, but I didn't want anyone to cal BS on me.

mrjamiam Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 How does that happen? Shop owner's idiot son given more responsibility than he merits? Employee about to quit sticks it to his asshole boss? You'd think that if chronic gross Google incompetence were at fault, the shop would go out of business very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finally found out it IS an '09 Fender Honey Blonde Highway 1 Tele with the very this nitro finish. I actually thought this was a Special which is worth about $500-600 , but it's a Highway 1, so it's worth about $850 -$950 . So I guess I did pretty good on this one Jon.

LordsoftheJungle Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Makes you wonder what the pawn shop paid for it and why someone would take that piddly amount. Must have been a druggie, pissed off girlfriend, or a thief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ting Ho Dung Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I don't understand how this could have happened. I haven't found a good deal in a pawn shop since ebay. On top of that the previous owner shouldn't have settled for what he got from the pawn shop. But congratulations on your snatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, you still wanted to nickel and dime them on a $100 price tag. And why do they owe you a case? It's a pawn shop, not a retail store. The broke, desperate mofo who pawned it probably traded the case for a dime bag, assuming they ever even had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
