Acoustic 150s didn't look like that until 1972, and if there's one thing I don't like, it's an overpriced, false advertised, piece of musical equipment.

^ Agree. That's a second-generation, '72 to '76, they're 125W, and 400 bucks = LOL

Yeah, I hate that one, I would pay to get it remade into a T. On top of that it's just too expensive for what it is.

And the $2300 T is the only T I would pay >$1000 for, because of all the documentation.

You should, I'll roll over and be like, "Hey, did someone give you a lowball offer? I'm here to off you $4.51."  ;D

There's a fuck ton of price gouging assholes on ebay, I rarely even bother with that shit. There was a guy selling a Chinese Gibson as a "replica" asking 600 dollars. I sent him a link to the exact guitar, and he said "OH MAN! NOW I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR IT!" It's up for 800 now. I've been flagging it all day.

Yep. I have a Hendrix poster, printed in 1970, looked it up just to be sure of it, but it wasn't worth much. Maybe $50 to the right buyer. Just goes to show that need to realize that just because something is old, not in print/production, or because they've never seen another thing like it, it's worth lots and lots and lots of gold. Ran into a lot of that kind of thing yesterday at an antique mall. Didn't see one single thing worth buying.

Yeah, flagged it too. Problem with eBay is that it shows what the aforementioned "right buyer" would pay for things. Drives up prices beyond what things are truly worth and shows us only the price people who pay top dollar for things will pay. Irritates the hell out of me. There's an Acoustic 271 and 371 from the same seller, $900 and $1000 respectively. Way too much than for what they're worth, even with all the work this dude says he put into them. If I had loads of cash to burn I would get them, because I want, want, want them, but I would never spend more than $600 for each of them, and that's even pushing it.

Yeah, just sold one just like it for $200. There's also a second gen 150 with a 2x15 cab on there for $400, I think. Relatively good deal, I think.

Yeah, this one: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/msg/2607643714.html

I'd buy it if I could justify it.  ;D

Hal, if I find shit up there, will you go get it for me?

Hell yeah, I don't see why not (though I can't say there are very many good deals worth shipping up here heh).
