Guy trying to peddle an OLP on ebay as an Axis played by EVH

[austxdan]

Look at this chump trying to push an OLP, listed as an Axis for $1,000 (I know I've got this identical OLP photoflame Quilt-top, this ain't no Axis!). Write this ripoff a nasty letter and let him know what you think about him trying to rip off us VH guitar players...



Music Man Axis -- Eddie Van Halen tried THIS guitar! $1,000

what a tossa!!!!

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

So if I take a pick that Luke used and put it on a Luke guitar for a photo, that's the same as him playing it?

 

[mesadualrec]

hey I fell for it

 

[fogman]

hey I fell for it

Are you the one who's bid on it???

I'm sorry. I don't think anyone touching a $200-300 guitar for a few minutes warrants a starting price of $1000US.
So what is that? $900 CDN?

 

[INMT]

The "stores" across from gc are mesa boogie, carvin and el torito ) now if you stay on the same side of the street and go up one block, Freedom guitars is there. If that's where he bought I bet he did pay a grand for an OLP )

Euan,

For a second there , my heart dropped!!! Ya know for some strange reason I think Ebay is going to be invloved in this for some time after - I don't think anyone needs to do anything at this point!!

In addition, if anyone out there wants an OLP played/signed by EVH just call me, I have as many as you need, and I'll make more if I need too!! LOL

 

[unclerico]

Like EVH would play an OLP?

Scam

 

[guertzi]

Un-f***in-believable...

This is ridiculous! Even IF Mr. van Halen touched it for some seconds, why in the world would that raise the value of that guitar?

Maybe I can have some celebrity puke all over a pair of shoes and then sell each for 500 $ on the bay???

Gimme a break...

Why, you ask: Principle!!

Rarity elevates, i.e., "Supply and Demand". It's never the "item" that creates value, it is always and only the principle of rarity from supply and demand (any market, anywhere at anytime).

How many EVH's in the world - there's your answer!

 

[Jodizzle]

I like how he says "I collect EVH collectables .."
What?!?!

I eat edibles

 

[mesadualrec]

I totally agree,Its an OLP at the end of the day no matter WHO has touched,played,owned,smashed....slept with


its an OLP!!



I mean who is this Eddie Van Helsing chap anyhoo??????
probably rubbish

Hope this guy sells it to someone on this forum,that will fuel some kicks and giggles


awww dear me,some folk eh!

[mesadualrec]

'Eddie Van halen Tried THIS guitar'


and threw it straight back at your head.......


making you delusional and thus trying to sell it for a grand...try selling your head


may even get more for it

 

[Pittman75]

If EVH took a poop people would bid on it. Some people will spend that money, and some people are that crazy.

 

[MrMusashi]

i bet he is conveniently placed close to the beach shops in ft lauderdale.. talk about ripoffs and you could get them there!
it was a harsh learning experience for a young and naive norwegian on vacation in the land of opportunities :lol:

[petruccirocks02]

I sent him an email asking him why he's selling an OLP that sells at guitar center for *** with a starting bid of $1000. I can't wait to see what this guy says, he's obviously a tool. Its just a shame that the person bidding on it is gonna get raked over the coals.

I was gonna too but you got there first


cant wait to hear this one

 

[glockaxis]

Guys, you're missing the whole point. EVH graced this guitar w/ his magical fingers. His dead skin cells are on this guitar. It hasn't been washed since and w/ today's modern science we can replicate his dna from this. Don't you want to own a piece of history???









HaHaha, clearly I kid you. [heavy sarcasm]

 

[Quarter]

Well, the Genuine Simulated Wood Grain is worth something. If it had the New And Improved Blue Crystals, I'd be all over it!
