Is it really worth that much? I understand that its worth a ton, but 3.75 million? Will they really get that much?

No. That seller tends to use eBay auctions with very high Buy It Now prices to generate discussion/interest.

Well, that is a very cool discussion piece. I still have my eye on an Andy Griffith D18... those are only going for around 2.5 grand.

Yeah, he may be listing it just to see how much it would fetch. I've actually thought of doing that with my '57 D-28, but it just doesn't seem right to me.

well, if it comes with the OHSC, then it might be worth it.......

I'm thinking of making a lowball offer of $2mil to see what kind of response I get! Hope they don't take it! If they do, I'm in deep doo-doo!

Anyone figured out the listing fee on that? Probably very cheap advertising.

Think I should send him my '89 Gibson Les Paul Studio to sell? I'm sure he could get at least $500,000 for it.

A mansion in Nebraska is like a canoe in the desert.

All that and it probably plays like crap!

I wouldnt go near that thing. I'd be too afraid to play it and would probably go crazy if it wasn't properly humidified and everything. It would be more of a burden than a fun guitar to have. Would a bank or credit card company let you take even half of that out on a loan if you were to buy it?

That is one of the most beautiful Martins ever. It looks angelic and probably sounds the same. A gift from the heavens.

The next Stradivarius. Not worth the price he's asking today but will be eventually I think.
