Today's deluded, and verbose, eBay seller (not guitars)

Stuckfast

He has a rack of cheap, nasty and dated recording gear which is probably worth £300 tops:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fostex-Expensive-Digital-Recording-Studio-Plus-Full-Rack-System-Pro-Use-16-Trac/232828929736

And he wants £3k for it. But you can't have the CD player because it USED TO BELONG TO GLEN FRY OF THE EAGLES!!!

Sigh.

Man, if that’s the non-special enhanced “speel” then I dread to think...

There’s nothing holy about that - it’s just crap..

Can you guys not hear the poet speak?

"Can only sell it the once

Once gone, it’s gone

I won’t have another one,

That’s for sure,

As, they cost a small fortune to purchase new

Pre owned,, ha, try finding one,"

Was that Glen Fry of the Selby Eagles rather than Glenn Frey of The Eagles?

Why do eBay sellers include the superfluous and unnecessary opening line "Here we have listed for sale on eBay..."?

Snort, more like!

Verbose and delusional in the style of an advanced cocaine user.

Ah. That old Florida custom.

I dunno. The Drawmer DL241 and the flight case might be worth a few packets of Jaffa Cakes.

But that behringer v-bass... I mean, come on...

That's not even weighty enough to serve as a door stop.

"TOTALY immaculate".

I didn't think that immaculate could be variable.

It's all in the conception.

A 'dream' if you believe the seller ... a nightmare if you have your feet on the ground.

Funkfingers

Some of the rack modules might sell if offered individually ... just not for anything like as much money as the pusher seller might have imagined.

Those command a removal/disposal fee + a surcharge for the hire of ICBM's Communist Bloc hammer.

StormshadowGuitars

Looks like the locks on the rack are better than the ones in the institution he's just escaped from!

Notice ebay name....!

That's the thing with rapidly evolving technology - some people find it hard to accept that it's worth almost nothing compared to what they paid for it because much better stuff is available for cheaper now.

What seems not even really that long ago I paid a decent chunk for a digital hardware synth. Software synths were around at the time but very much basic and novel and not a viable alternative to hardware. Then just shortly after the soft synth market exploded and made hardware redundant for all except live work so I sold it for a fraction of what I bought it for. Today the software has vastly overtaken any hardware there ever was and most people are comfortable using it live so if I was to sell that today I'd expect peanuts if someone was buying it for novelty value or something.
