I've seen some EET FUK insanity, but this...

[Chris]

If anyone wants to give me 13 large for any of my guitars, I'll have you know I'll throw in free shipping.

[Mike]

That's the really hilarious part of these listings - there's always shipping on top of it, no matter how crazy the price is.

[Ryan]

I know the pricing on these ESP Explorers can be a little wild sometimes, but bloody hell.

[thrashinbatman]

the prices on these things has gotten way out of control. who the fuck is even buying these things for 5 digit figures?

[Markus]

And it isn't even the Essex studio guy selling it!

I mean, covid stimulus checks weren't THAT big...

[playstopause]

Wow, that axe is absolutely beautiful.


... But yeah, fuck that price.

[jim777]

It's been on sale for 4 years....

[d8200]

...and from Turkey, no less. Maybe they flubbed the exchange rate on the lira?

To be honest though, I was curious to see what this was. A natural finish Explorer? Hnnnghhh!!!

[thrashinbatman]

with block inlays too! make no mistake, this guitar is fucking HAWT. but gatDAMN those prices are preposterous!

[Alan]

That dude has an EET FUK up for sale as well for $40k and it has been listed for 3 years. It's ridiculous. I think ESP finally stopped making Explorer shapes.. if you were outside of the US, you could still pay $6k for a custom shop Explorer. I love them and was looking into it at one point.

I've seen that $40k explorer on reverb too. Absurd.

[Briansol]

he's in turkey. that's like a billion dollars here to him.
average salary there is 1000 usd a year.

scam written all over it.

[playstopause]

It's been on sale for 4 years....

Damn. I would give up after 4 months.

[Dominic]

This is true. It was the discount that really got me. How stupid. What's he gonna cut it by tomorrow? 51%?

[thrashinbatman]

what a bargain!

Right? Look at this guy charging shipping on a JP2C he thinks he's going to get nearly $6k for:

To be fair, that's also got the enigma known as European Mesa Boogie Pricing involved, but, yeah, that's still nuts. I don't need anything bad enough to pay twice the price of a new one for it.

Same guy also has this bargain.

$182 shipping too! And if you click on the auction, he didn't even bother to take an in-focus pic of it.

[Chris]

..And this feedback.

[Dominic]

Plastic bottles? :wtf: At least ones with a refundable desposit, I hope, so Aleksandr could reclaim part of his €100.

I once got a CD from eBay that was wrapped in the lingerie pages from a shopping catalogue. :bananadance:
