I was having an idle glance through old Gibsons on ebay and this amused me somewhat. It's an extremely rare, vintage 1998 Epiphone PR-100, yours for only £99.

Well it is rare - they only made 300 million! I always wonder why people do this... do they really think it's rare or do they think they might fool someone into believing it is?

Yes - do people really put these things up without even Googling them, or are they just hoping that whoever buys it will be too naive to google it first? £99 is pretty much what those things used to cost new.

I'd struggle to keep a straight face if I was describing it as rare or vintage though... Relisted £10 cheaper But also £100 more. Which really is more than they cost new.

It's also described as a "Classical" guitar!
