I enjoyed reading this listing and was toying with the idea of making a lowball offer but think he'd want that...

"I get a lot of questions about this guitar. They are so elaborate and specific, it kinda drives me crazy. I'm offering the guitar super-cheap, and these questions are the sort of questions you might ask if you were buying a guitar at ten times the price. Truth be told, all these questions are a right hassle, and I am done with them... asking me to take photos of the neck and the machine heads and blah blah blah...
So listen, just don't. If you are that bloody fussy, go to a guitar shop and buy one there!!! And pay three times the price!!!!
I have talked to my Mum, and she is happy to store my guitar when I go off on my travels. I've sold a pile of stuff on eBay already, so am no longer as desperate for cash as I was. In fact, I am putting the starting bid up to £175, because it includes a Hiscox Flight Case.... and if no-one buys it this time around, I am withdrawing it from any further auctions.
Read this review below, and be aware of what a bargain you missed out on when it was only £145... and weep! And if you are smart enough, you will realise £175 is still a bargain
Sorry, but I have had enough of time wasters, and this guitar is precious to me. I won't take anything less than £175 now. So don't hang on in the hope that I will relist it cheaper."
