[selloutrr]

This is the kind of crap that has ruined Ebay as a parts source.

That is good I'm sure I have a few dozen of those too.
Does anyone actually buy these?

[ToneMerc]

Yeah, that is too crazy. I think the internet (search engines, forums) and reality TV has put a damper on finding killer deals period. As soon as someone runs across something, they get on the internet to find it's selling value and then you have folks that think just because it's older than 20 years old it just has to be valuable.
However, I still think eBay is a good source for parts. You know, it's like junk in your attic, you gotta know what to keep and gotta know what to throw away.

There are those who will accept no other replacement parts on their guitars than period authentic ones. There are counterfeiters too.

They should all before listing have to go to see that guy Rick at the pawn shop in Las Vegas.He would set them straight!!Mikey

There's a lot of stuff on ebay for ridiculous prices that won't close, but can someone explain this kind of thing :

I don't get it.

It falls in the HiFi / collectors relm - when nothing but the correct piece will do. Lots of what most people would consider junk sparks high $$$ for the hifi crowd. One guys old speaker is another guys TW.

Field coil stuff is making a big comeback in the hifi world because you can vary the speakers gauss and tune the speakers to their environment and they tend to sound great when used correctly. Look up the modern hand made field coil speakers, they sells for a LOT of money and are quite popular. For whatever reason the trend started in Japan and moved over here.

You guys found some killer deals!!!!

I got a good deal on a twin PT a few months ago, I'm regretting wasting my money when i could have had that vintage Fender jack though!

There are still some good ways to get ebay deals but its not like it used to be. Selling through ebay is an even bigger rip!
