am I an asshole or what?

Let's see. Your hot but bitchy girlfriend wants you to sell your Tele. You don't really want to, but you do want to continue receiving her hotness so you run an ad that is so long few will bother to read it and when someone does respond with a question you basically tell them to go fuck themselves. Brilliant! You're a wise man my friend and may yet dodge the bullet.:thu:
I think he's on to something...
 
this.

ad could have/should have said:

USA Tele 52 Reissue model. Guitar only - no case.

$$$ Cash Only. No shipping

and maybe add some pics. (shows color and condition)



why say something in 1500 words that can be said in 15

This!!!
 
ok i changed the ad.

this guitar is impossible to sell thats why I had fun with the ad.
nobody will buy a guitar with no case candy, no matter how cheap it is.
there is a guy selling the same guitar for $1500 and because it has a case
it will sell at that price.
crazy.

new ad here

I certainly wouldn't have responded to the original ad.

i know $500 for a $1500 guitar
this tele is impossible to sell.
mostly because the logo is peeling off
this happens a lot on avris though
but people want a perfect logo.
thats all they care about really, the 3 responses I got
asked about why the logo was peeling off.

i bet if i drop the price to $300 it would not sell.
ive had higher offers on my CIJ parstcaster than this AVRi tele...crazy
but that logo is under the finish and perfect,

I can sell this all day on TDPRI for $800
but i have to ship
 
its irrelevant. its priced lower than MIM.

It's relevant because you stated something that was untrue, and price has nothing to do with it.

I think it's a nice looking guitar. It's a shame you can't sell it but that's the way it goes. I have a ton of cool, pricey, boutique and signature pedals nobody wants. I had them on CL for weeks. You have to be patient and simply wait for someone to fall in love with it. It took me three months to sell a mint condition Peavey Classic 30.

If you want a shit load of cool stomp boxes I'll mail them to you for the guitar.

Is the blues driver one of the crazy fuzz versions?
 
i just sold a rat pedal and a barber direct drive plus a $25 gift card all for $60
pedals sell, guitars dont no matter how cheap.

ive never even heard of a 52RI selling for $500.
average price is $1000.

last time I asked $700 I got all kinds of messages from people at TDPRI
begging to sell my tele to them..now its listed at $500

you can PM me.
 
good news...tele has sold! Im gonna give the guy a gig bag and put new strings on.
I dont mind i sold it for so cheap cuz its for a good cause.
My girlfriend needs a smartphone badly as its how she communicates (she lost her hearing in an accident/head trauma)
Until I can get her on my insurance and get her operation we can at least
talk to each other easily. The bad news is some day she'll be able to hear how terrible I am on guitar.
Right now she thinks im awesome (cuz thats what I told her)

funny I mentioned this sale on TDPRI and immediately my mailbox was flooded with offers.
i knew these were worth more than they sell for.
but we need this phone like yesterday thats why we couldnt wait.

Im so happy now cant wait to tell her...
 
If I saw your ad the length alone would convince me that you're nuts and I would just close the tab without reading it.

well i shortened the ad considerably.
At first I was very verbose cuz it was selling so cheap
I figure ads that say nothing and are really cheap throw up red flags.

anyway this thread was supposed to be about my response to an email, not the ad itself.
kind of went in another direction altogether lol
