Why bother?
Here is yet another Squier being sold as a Fender. And it’s a bottom of the range Chinese version as well. But this is where it gets utterly crazy…starting at £200? With buy it now at £300??? You can get a new one for £120. Or a Standard (much better quality) one for £179.
Why do people waste their time? Is this seller seriously expecting someone to pay this or are they intentionally trying to defraud someone? Stay well away.
I have seen this kind of thing before. There’s a guy in the states who has a 1980′s Nikon EM SLR on sale at USD250 Buy it now – permanently. The Nikon EM was their cheapest ever camera and now sells for between $15 and $25. I emailed the guy and pointed this out and he replied very rudely saying “don’t tell me what I can or cannot sell!” I think he is hoping that someone will mistake it for a Nikon FE (highly sought after) and pay the price…
This guy is hoping to pull of the same trick I would imagine.
Cheers
Thanks for the comment Colin, I think you’re probably right. Nice to have some camera-related chat too, I’m well aware of the Nikon EM and am a proud owner of a FM2.
It seems that this Squier was subsequently relisted at a series of lower prices, not sure if it eventually sold or not – I got bored of watching…
Cheers
