Found these listings from the same seller for nice Electra models but needs room to haggle on the prices I think. Is this the new trend for Electra prices? Lets hope not for all us buyers out there.

That is the same bigsby Burgundy Pro we saw last week. Dude bought it for $800, cleaned the pots and doubled the price. I say we ignore him and hope that the price comes down to something more reasonable. By the way, same thing happened with a X420vs about a month ago, it was bought for $700 and then immediately relisted at $1545.


**Edit** Just noticed that both Semi's are from the same seller. Again, lets not encourage this 'Flip-a-Guitar' behavior.

He's always high with his prices. He caught some guff over at the Ibanez Collectors Forums a while back over doin the same stuff. I noticed that he still has those guitars....they haven't sold as yet.

I suppose he can do whatever he wants with his guitars, he has a very good eye and isnt afraid to invest in mint examples-nor is he afraid of waiting (for a LONG time in some cases) for just the right customer....its an interesting business model to say the least-but his guitars are very very nice !

His prices are quite intense and he doesn't even fool around with the "Make an Offer" button either.

He is hunting for his white whale but the flipping angle just makes it more distasteful for me.

Someone is always looking to make a buck and that will never change... :(
