sgt-pluck Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Comedy prices! Not only that, but how on earth would a prospective buyer ever work out if they were the real thing? Pluck Quote
budget bassist Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I'll be willing to bet that someone, somewhere, would be willing to pay that. Quote
Kev Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 i think anyone buying that needs to seek medical help. they would never add that kinda value to a 60's jazz even if it does restore it to complete original condition, surely? Quote

Since all this relicking bollocks has become so authentic looking I don't think it is possible to tell the difference. Not only that but the prices these things go for gives plenty of incentive to fake them. Quote

tauzero Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Does anyone fancy telling him that removing the patina has halved their value? Well, that's what they say on the Antiques Roadshow, anyway... Quote

Annoying Twit Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I notice that they have been relisted. Quote
