Given that the average Megadeth fan is around 12 years old I’d say their pocket money is unlikely to stretch to this

Megadeth are great. 12 year olds listen to Metallica, 14 year olds listen to Megadeth.

His 'world class' Producer has been sending out very low offers too.

Obviously following in his mentor's footsteps. 

He was told no, bless him.

Megadeth are about 1000 years old, those 14 and 15 year olds are now 45 year old dentists. These days 14/15 year olds are more into Animals As Plini or Thy Art Is Periphery 

(I kid, I love metal, you fucking nuts....)

I feel like it would be a laugh to en masse send offers at or below what we know he paid for these items. Including a pair of pre KH-2 Kirk Hammett ESPs which were on sale here for 750 each, which he is now selling for £4000! (And there's only one on there, so has one sold?!)

You appear to have awoken from a coma that started in 1992. We have so much to explain to you. Please take a seat and try not to void yourself.

No, 'twas a young chap, James (double barrelled surname I can't remember).

He's saving the other so that when the first sells he can say there's only one for sale in the world and triple the price.

My run in with him...

I was watching an ibanez RG560 on ebay with some distinctive mods. It was about £300 but had a cracked neck so I passed (a proper crack, not just superficial).

Next thing it's for sale again with him, for £900. I thought that's way too much with the cracked neck, and I noticed the pictures were all professional but didn't include the cracked area. 
I messaged him and asked about it, and I got back a tirade of abuse about how there was no damage. I said it's clearly the same guitar and he started ranting about sour grapes and how I lived with my mum.
So I linked him to the original auction and said you're lying. He never replied after that but left the guitar for sale, so I put a thread on here about him and it got loads of similar stories being told.

Oh right,
sounds like a right bounder.

Imagine the disappointment of buying that, discovering the obvious - and deliberately undisclosed - damage, then having to deal with a person like him to try to get your money back. 

I've got no real issue with dealers charging ludicrously inflated prices - good luck to them, if people will pay that much - but it's a different matter when there's actual dishonesty involved.
