Hell Len, I'm too old for all this spellcheck stuff. Besides, you knew what I meant.....I hope so, most of the time I don't know what I meant.

It's all about money boys. We all know that. Thanks to dumbass cable tv put ons, every person out there thinks his dam guitar, car, or stupid shit vase is worth zillions, when it is just run of the mill stuff. Not even anything special. Usually the unfortunate thing is most of the cool stuff ends up in someones hands who really doesn't appreciate it for what it is. Other than it's "so called" value. Len, your assessment is also what I have been told.
accessement = assessment

They did crap like this all the time on Antiques Roadshow. Like anybody actually has this super rare, neat shit laying around and not know what it is. Most people arent that ignorant about the stuff they own, which makes for a fucking boring show. And like the PS guy didnt know a Norlin when he saw one. If youre that ignorant, you shouldnt be running a high profile pawn shop. I wouldnt be at all surprised if that "pawn shop" didnt even exist before the show started, and the guys the "run/own" it are just actors themselves.

The pawn shop guy i talked to said ~no rightful pawnsop employee/owner would ever call in an expert on any item,because of the cost's involved in the event that it turns out to be an imitation.For most run of the mill stuff they take in they just look it up on ebay~

So it fetched $110000.

After ebay and paypal fees its only about 10 point margin on the sale.

I would have boughten the other one on Ebay. Way cleaner and all there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-GIBSON-...item1e5e6384f5
I don't think it really got "sold" ...that whole pawnshop thing was a f'n scam. One of their buddies probably had to buy it for them, just like all the bump's on bidding. It still is history, yeah I think it's worth the money for it's historical value. I guess if it really was worth that, they would not have had to play such a stupid ass tv game with it.Someone would have put it in their million dollar collection. Personally If I had huge piles of money,I would buy a 58/59 V or Explorer with that ching. Me, .... man I would like another mint, $250 Charvel Model 2. Now thats money well spent.
