There's no way I can buy this, so maybe someone else from the PRF will want it. $2,200 is quite a bit less than what the last couple have gone on Ebay for.

(I have nothing to do with this sale, I just want to make sure someone from the region might get this.)

$4700 for a standard. Flaming christ.

a kinda-not-really friend of mine just paid $5200 for a travis bean. not sure which model...i just laughed when i heard. that's an obscene amount of money for a guitar.

holy fuck - if the prices on Beans go any higher i'd be stupid not to sell mine - my Standard hasn't even been taken out of its case in over a month...

Fuck me. $4700 for a fucking guitar.

The guy that paid $4700 for that standard also just paid:

$3251 for an artist
$4300 for a 500
$2100 for a Veillette-Citron
$4500 for an LA-2 Teletronix compressor

He's got 300 feedback. Lots of money, too.

Collectors...ruin it for everyone. He probably dropped a 10,000$ max bid and just sat there going...yeah, I love being rich.

It was probably Vincent Gallo.

At the very least I hope this was a wedge.

Are you friends with Vincent Gallo?

heh...no. as far as i know, this kid has a pretty well-paying job and not much to spend his money on.

the kicker is that a friend told me he didn't notice any difference between the old guitar and the tb.

How much do you think a Standard body in koa would go for in this market? Just a body. It's got some dents and dings.
