And the 180K BIN is only the down payment!

Someone would have to be seriously delusional to buy this. Almost as delusional as the seller.

It has to be said....

Something's fishy with that auction.

It needs some ugly-ass buckeye burl to complete the look.

Why a Sturgeon? He could have built a bass bass ;D

Strings for stripes, it's a natural. If I only had the time.

Guys this isn't half as bad as a Wishnevsky. Hilariously overpriced though (what, does it actually produce caviar or something?).

I bought it and now I will spend another 10.000 euros to let it sound as a Precision.

I like the little detail that the seller is in EUREKA...!

There are houses that are cheaper than that...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."

Some extra zeros maybe? :P
