If it's in absolutely mint condition, that's a $4,000 guitar.

You make a good point but you are paying for the Provenance.

It WAS a $4000 guitar until George played it......

I showed Marilyn the article in today's Daily Mirror, there was a picture of the guitar and a pic of the shirt as well....it has to be said, the shirt is totally HIDEOUS....looks like an explosion in a paint factory.....

Oh and Marilyn said "don't even think about it....no loans, no second mortgages. just NOOOOOOO....."

:D :D :D

I about had a heart attack at what those items fetch. Too many rich people in the world and, for sure, I ain't one of 'em. :twisted:

yes there is a trend............

A certain Misanthrope from Southampton used to be known as Chordsandscales.co.uk.....and a Straycat from Germany used to be known as Bluenghtangel to her fellow SSG members....

there are others as well......I think I'll drop the pseudonym and use my real name - oh hang on I already do.......

:D :D :D
