As I watch the Ebay adds, many of the guitars seam to have repaired cracks, or small cracks that can easily be fixed.
I have 3 guitars that are over 20 years old and no cracks on any of them. Not even finish checking.
Why are so many of these older guitars cracking?
Is it poor care of the guitar, or am I just lucky that my guitars are in such good shape?
I do take good care of my guitars and keep them humidified in their cases and in a cool closet when not being played.
I don't know if I would ever dare buy a used guitar off of Ebay, unless it came with an unconditional return policy, in case I didn't like it.
How many people besides reputable dealers can offer that?
What has been your experience with Ebay, or other internet auction guitars?
