It's nice to think that...

...some things will always be there...like this:

Yeah, that advert's like the Queen, or Iron Maiden - the years pass but it remains a constant.

He's just waiting for inflation to catch up, give it 50 years or so...

I glanced at the ad and wondered why this was being flagged as £2,000 appeared to be a very reasonable price - then I blinked ..... & realised it was £20,000!  

Either it's a misprint .....or the guy is from the Andromeda galaxy and clearly doesn't understand currencies on planet Earth!

At that price it will probably still be for sale in the reign of William V.

proggy

Nice colour though, I might make him an offer when he drops the price a bit....

to £1,500.

But don't you just feel a warm glow of familiarity when you see these ads, week-in and week-out?

One of my all-time favourites:

I love the way the price of this yo-yos - sometimes it's £2.5K, sometimes it's £4.5K, sometimes it's £7.5K and so on.

Surely it's worth every penny seeing as it's "as rare as moon dust"

I like how they keep saying how heavy it is. Also, how do you convert an SG into a Les Paul?

I was thinking that, he also says "signs of an SG logo on the headstock"

what's an SG logo? does he mean the letters S and G ?

Don't let the fancy sales patter get to you - the moon has a mass of 73,420,000,000,000,000 tonnes.

That, right there, is literally a metric shitload of moondust. Rare my arse.
