About relics...

A part of me thinks it's stupid to relic a brand new expensive Fender CS or Gibson guitar and it's even more stupid people buy them

But... I was in a shop the other day and I saw some nice relic'ed Jazzmasters and a Sandberg Bass. And I just love it. I had no eyes for the other instruments!

Just about 4 hours left.  I've still got the top bid.  LOTS of views on it.  The interesting thing so far is that everyone is bidding low.  Each new bid is only $5 over the last high bid.  Nobody seems to be jumping on this yet.  The last 5 minutes should be interesting.

Nope.  The winning bid came in about an hour before it ended.  The winner got it for $5 more than my high bid.  I don't know if I would have gotten it for another $20 jump, but I set the limit that I was willing to go, and stayed with it.  There will be others.

5 dollars is bad:( If someone overbids with 200 dollars it's better...

The thing with Ebay is that the bids increment at the set level, and not with the actual bid.  For all I know, the winner outbid me by $50.  I just didn't want to go over my pre-set limit.  The $130 shipping was a definite factor.

Right, you never know how much higher the winner was set to go if necessary.
