I'm not seeing the listing; and I'm not getting a message that the listing has been removed or that it was ended by the seller. It just doesn't seem to be there.

Must have been removed. There was a line towards the bottom that said the BIN was $2000. Had to have been a scam.

Ah; interesting that Ebay redirected the link to a search for "New Guitar".

Wow I certainly didn't dream it. I did wonder at the time but thought if it was dodgy, someone here would be able to expose that fact better than I could.

It showed up last week with the $2000 BIN. A review of the seller's other auctions at that time revealed a 50's Les Paul Gold Top for a $2000 BIN, as well as about a dozen other valuable vintage guitars, all with a $2000 BIN. Scam.

Bill, tgo

Or maybe a brave idealist striking a blow against the insanity of vintage prices..........

(yeah, right)
