Apart from those who try to sell something that was expensive firewood back in the 50s/60s and describe it as "vintage" or collectable", I've been following with interest the progress, or lack thereof,of an early 60s Gibson J50 on eBay. I had an earlier model which I sold to a friend some 10 years ago and I was looking forward to telling him how much this one went for. The seller was asking £2400, had a long story as to why he did not want anyone to view the guitar and had a no return policy. Did he really expect someone to shell out nearly two and a half thousand pounds for a guitar he couldn't inspect and couldn't return if it was not up to expectations? The guitar received no bids!
