Remember when ebay was fun.

I hate to think of all the guitars that passed through ebay in the first couple of years that I was on it.  I never bid on them as I couldn't square myself with buying stuff with bigger price tags.  Too much risk at the time, although parts were small and cheap enough that I bought lots of that stuff.  I still wish I had gambled on the 61 EB-2C that came through.  It was a beauty, and clean.

I'll tell you the best feedback I ever received on eBay, though it was a long time ago. My eBay handle was "Dentist" and the feedback left to me on my purchase was "It was a painless extraction". Brilliant! EBayers often were rather playful in those days.

Remember when Rickenbackers were $425 all day long and MIJ fenders were $199?

Those were the (early) days of ebay, now everyone thinks they are a friggin expert.

Yep, My MIJ was my very first e-bay purchase and I got it with HSC and shipping for just under $400.

ebay has become the price guide to the world. unrealistic prices become the norm.

That's one of the biggest downsides. All it takes is two people in a bidding war in one auction and it can throw normal pricing completely out of whack.

My best sale was a private party ticket signed by Page, Plant, Jones, Grant, and a certain Mr Powell... all in the same place at the same time in 1981... there were a lot of rumours post Bonham, and this was the event that gave them fuel...

£368 for a 3x5" piece of card and a couple of poor quality pics...
