Comments
When the guy came to pick it up, he challenged me about this making a similar comment. So seeing as cash had changed hands, I got the Jap guitar out. He had to concede that if shoe was on the other foot, he'd do the same. Thats not to say it was a bad US guitar - its just that old Jap Squier is *BLOODY* good. So sometimes, its not so clear cut...
Frankly, the only thing that irks me are rude people when selling. I refused to accept a daft offer on something (not on here, I hasten) - the guy kept pestering, offering trades that I wasn't interested in. I then sold the item elsewhere, so said "sorry mate, its just sold elsewhere. Thanks for the interest". I got a one word reply "wanker".
There's one in the classifieds here.

Everyone knows the Jap Squier's are very good guitars, that's why they're starting to sell for (frankly) ridiculous money, and US Fender's are not as good as CS, so the two 'brackets' you're using are nearer together.
Although I understand your point, my comment was sort of in jest, but also sort of in truth, because I do see phrases of similar ilk used a lot.
This brings me on to another selling thing conveniently, following on from the Jap Squier's; when everyone starts to think just because their guitar was made in the same country as the ones selling for higher money, that means theirs is worth more - the amount of Squier's I see now listed at stupid prices because they were made in Korea for example... Just because Squier made some good Korean guitars doesn't now mean they're all worth more than they were when new...
It hit £675 on eBay while he was actually in my living room trying it out, you can imagine his face when I showed him my phone...
What really gets my back up is when someone writes "First to see will buy" at the end of an add.
How can they be sure of that?
It can work both ways though. I saw a commonly available pedal recently go for about £130 on here when it could be had new £140
There are plenty of chancers out there. Just because something is advertised for sale at price "x" doesn't mean your similar thing is worth the same (or more), or that it will ever sell for that much.
