As for being called a jerk few posts earlier, I'll leave that with no comments. All I can say I wouldn't call anyone on the forum like this.
GLWTS goes to Steve from Derby, I shall probably apologise to him for getting in touch and expressing my opinion, he's a sound fella after all... NOT

Massively overpriced items are either being sold by those who aren't in their right mind in which ignore with extreme prejudice or aren't really for sale at all in which case just move on.
WRT corresponding with over-optimistic sellers, I think it's an open and competitive market place and any dialogue is allowed so long as it's polite. If someone is questioned about the value of an item for sale, the seller is at liberty to give a plausible reason for the high value or merely say that the price is fixed and not up for any further negotiation. Any abuse from sellers should be reported to ebay if there is evidence of it in the ebay messaging correspondence.
EBay stuff is often notoriously overpriced but if I tell someone their gear is overpriced all I'll do is alienate them. I always think it's good to try and build a raport if I can. Sometimes a seller will warm to me and a deal can be done whilst other times I just have to let the gear go.
No message and the guy has two guitars for sale which are definately overpriced, including a Les Paul Standard for 1700.
Youve got to laugh.
Another eBay special with a guy asking £1699 for a Cornford MK50 mk1. Will only accept very close offers
Dealers are only knocking these out for £899-950 when they get them in
It got me wondering whether he has auto-decline set up on his items. And guess what - he doesn't.
So I've just offered him £30 on his Megadeth drumkit which he has up for £25k. Response awaited. I have said that I can collect.
Not that it'd be funny if everyone did this, of course...
