Title: Bill TGO, this one's for you
Post by: jack on March 07, 2006, 05:19:17 PM

Hey guys, check out this great guitar I found for sale, only 1300 bucks.  It's in Romania (those trees in the backround must be a prolific species).
 
Plus, here's the guy's payment plan:
 
So you pay me first half of the money and half after you receive the guitar. It is ok for you?
 
So maybe I'll just send the 650 and forget about it!  What a sucker!
 
Lemme just get my checkbook...

Anyway, here's the original site, some random classifieds from Madison, WI, found while googling, doesn't list anything other than the description and an e-mail address.  Thought you guys might get a chuckle out of it though.

That's just sad.  I tried the web site but got an error message.

This one does look a LOT like the one I just bought.  So, been there, done that.  Thanks for the head's up, though!  On the other hand, the next time I'm in Romania ..... hmmmmm

OMIGOD!!! I'd better leave the office and go home right away.  We must have had a break in.  How did this get to Romania so quickly?  (nyuk, nyuk)
