It had to have ended early... for $40 I'd have bought it just to have a backup. Hell, I'd buy 10 at that price and have two in each room of my apartment, and a spare in my office.

It had a starting bid of $30 and a Buy it Now price of $40. The seller left feedback for the sale as did the buyer. "great guitar at a great price" he said. That's a bit of an understatement.

This seriously doesn't make sense... it has to be either a positive feedback pad or a stolen instrument.

I would have paid $42. Without hesitation.

The cheapest I've paid for one is $299, new, in 1998.

They have been selling for around $600 for the last year, give or take. I want to get another one to strip and paint it. Daphne blue, I think. Or surf green.

Mine cost me $280 last November with a gig bag, JB+split on the bridge, and a douchetastic Fender decal (to be replaced once I can find a replacement super sonic decal)

Nice. I once bought one in a pile. All disconnected. $350. Worked on it for several months and now it is my coral esquired one.

Last year, I saw a neck on eBay that I wanted pretty bad, but I was outbid. I'd love to start with only a neck. Make a body from scratch.

I am a huge fan of your coral esquired one.

After working on mine (and playing it for one gig I allowed him), my tech wants to make his own Supersonic, with a tele pickup on the bridge, a mini humbucker on the neck, and a mustang trem.

Pretty sure that's how people set up spam ebay accounts. They push through fake auctions to raise their feedback...seems suspicious.
