    WTF? Guitar Center is Insane!

    Did I miss something?

    To tell the truth, I've been geeking out on amps for the past year or so, and I've not kept up with the Fender board.

    So, when I was casually browsing Teles on eBay, I stumbled upon this.

    Now, call me crazy, but $3,500 for a '78 Tele seems a touch high. $750 may be, but $3,500? Nah!

    Then again, when I saw GC selling a '78 Marshall Super Bass for three grand, I knew something was up. Does anyone actually pay those prices?

    If it's any consolation, the seller has 3 pages of gear listed all with no bids and all outrageously priced. Some of it is suspect in quality too.
    If you're bored, you're not groovin'.

    I guess they're hoping those Japanese millionaires come-a-calling. I mean, I could understand it if it perhaps had some divine provenance -- if it were owned by Keith Richards, or something. But three-and-a-half grand for a run-of-the-mill seventies Tele is just lunacy!

    Yep. Not a single bid. Only one feedback, too. Bizarre. :rl

    Yeah, but it's "gcrepvintage" selling "art objects"- get 'em before somebody else does! The "Vintage Vault" is bursting at the seams!
    Wonder what was smoked before he (or she) wrote that copy!

    I really don't think they are trying to sell the guitars via an auction. It's just really cheap way to advertise their inventory.
