a good buy


this is all true, as far as i know... its about a guitar.....
..a guy who hauls low grade stuff from a big city had it in the auction....it wasnt a fancy auction....
jon was there, a guy who we buy from was there,,,the owner tried to show it to our friend,,,who bought the fiddle instead... ... and the guitar sold for 60$..also to someone we know......anyway!!!!
he put it on ebay and
it sold for $40,000!!!!!!!

he said he bid on it because of the case, he was pretty sure it was a gibson case.....
all the guys who were there are kicking themselves of course.....soome who are long time dealers....
it wasnt even a gibson...
p.s. .i saw it on ebay it went for 40,600....i wouldnt have known anything if i had been there..i probably would have bid more than 60 tho because it had such nice wood.....maybe 100 ...but i probably would have resold it in the store if i had gotten it........ i tried to download its p picture for here , but couldnt get it ....

off to springfield ohio tomorrow....for a big flea market....hopefully will be back with some wonderful goodies!!!! taking the big truck....
