1980 Greco EGF-2500

[RyanC]

Is this actually a 1980 EGF-2500? More importantly, did it in fact sell for 135,000 円?

If so, I think I am going to go throw up now...

Can't believe!

 

[villager]

look at the times, it was listed for 1 hour...

someone made him a very high private offer and he withdrew the guitar when the bidding was at 135000 yen..

Very good point Mark, although perhaps the BIN was 135,000 yen? The reason I say that is you'll notice the buyer has already left the seller positive feedback, and on eBay that wouldn't be possible to do if the auction was pulled. :-?

I feel a little bit better...

 

[villager]

i very much doubt if the BIN was 135000, I think he was offered outside yahoo to avoid the fees..

heh anyway thats what I am telling myself so I don't lose sleep...

Can't believe!

Ditto, Sushi Guy. That's like finding the fabled unicorn.

There is very few infos about this model. :-?
(Often in japanese)
It's even not in the Greco catalog.

Do you know what's different from a EGF1800 exept the (amazing) top?
Seems to be be the same DRY Z pickups. 8)

Yahoo does not work like ebay at all.
The feedback system is really f'd up on Yahoo.

A classic trick that is used often is that the seller put a very high price to attract potential customers. Secondly he withdraws the auction and finally put somethin cheap up for sale. Then the seller and the buyer will still get each others personal information (need a registration paper from the city hall to sell and bid on Yahoo) and they can make a more profitable deal.

Been there a million times

That makes me feel a little better!
