I just saw this item for sale on Reverb.
I have a '79 F512, it's a great guitar, but I'm not sure I'd shell out two bills for the original case candy 📜.
What say you guys?

For that price? Dumb. For $20? Maybe.

I get why people dig original case candy but I would not pay more for a guitar that had it. I have a bunch of Guilds with that stuff in the case pocket and I generally say, “huh - cool” close the case pocket and never care again.

Looking at his sold items it does appear that you are correct... and that P.T. Barnum was correct.

Anyone who lives in Ft Lauderdale is suspect in my book. It's the home of many of those spam callers offering free vacations on cruise ships and Florida resorts.

Not being a REVERB seller - a question: Can one put an item for sale at ridiculuos high price - then mark it sold without having to pay comission - or whatever it is called - to REVERB ???

You can't personally mark any item as sold; only end the offering. Only Reverb can mark an item sold.

Reverb is a pain now. I think you have to use there payment system. It all went to c-rap when Etsy acquired them.

You can accept everything from credit cards to Paypal to Apple-pay in addition to Reverb payments and a bunch of others. This is from just now on my account:

If your a Martin nut you can get this. Stupid People Suffer. I PM'ed him and told him what I thought. He didn't like it.


Imagine buying this and coming home to find your kids made it into a rocket ship like a refrigerator box!

Thanks FNG, I stand corrected, though I prefer Alabamans for some reason. Am I becoming a redneck Virginnian? I hope not. :eek:

What do you call an Albanian from Alabama?

(this is a "set up" for anyone who wants it....)
