Get a load of this...

Ripping off the unknowing $6.00 ( plus S&H) at a time. Look, up there on Ebay.... It's a bird.....It's a plane...... No, Wait!!!! It's a load of crap!

It might be worth it if the cardboard is solid and not laminated :wink:

Could be a bargain... we've paid more than $6 for a good pinata before...

That was probably the archtop version pinata though. This one's flat top, and from the size of that hole in the front, it probably doesn't hold too many goodies before they start falling out. The F-hole version always holds more - especially the vintage ones (December 12th, 2004). :wink:

it isn't really that expensive (excluding the S&H) now is it? Doesn't seem to be much of ripoff. Heck, I can point you towards a pub here where one beer costs more...

Yes, but the beer would last longer than the guitar.........

Financially, not a bad hit I suppose. I've lost more on a hockey game.

But, if you think of the people who would order that for a loved one thinking they've finally gotten Johnny that guitar he's always wanted. Or of the teenager who's been told they'll finally get their guitar for Xmas and who can't wait to learn to play.....

If these things sell well there's going to be a lot of hurt people out there and a lot of people not taking up a great hobby/pursuit/career because this cat is selling what is, in all likelihood, junk. That sucks, man. Better to have had these for sale on Guy Fawkes night.

Yeah, but then again, what kind of people would give their beloved ones a $4 guitar? I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to believe there could be anything resembling quality in such an instrument...

That is the coolest looking green guitar I've ever seen. I don't know about you, but I'm gonna order one before they're all sold out.

Gorilla Amp, eh! According to the reviews I've read if I had a pet gorilla that sounded that bad it's time to take him to the vet for a sleepy needle! :shock:

Arjen, never underestimate the naivete of the general population.

Now all that's missing is the "Esteban HeavyMetalAcoustic" fx pedal (only 50c + p&p inc enough batteries for a whole year's playing)

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Esteban? Is this the same jackass selling guitars on the Home Shopping Channel? :roll: I saw him one night before Christmas, just by flippin' through the channels.
Someone needs to shut him down. I'd probably quit playing guitar if I was given one of those as a first timer. :wink:

I've got a lot of good ideas. Trouble is... most of them suck!
