Like new and absolutely perfect condition, suitable for just about every kind of guitar music you can imagine and not to mention very newbie-friendly.

Bid with confidence.

Classic stuff.

cormie

that's great. Are the bidders obliged to buy it if they win?

Gordon

Is p&p included?

BUYER MUST COLLECT, item would easily become lost in post.

Gordon

Ah, I guess that makes sense. Mind, can he not just aim it in the direction of the buyer and throw it? My memory fails me of the physics of air guitars but I'm pretty sure that they are the exact same weight as air.

Hmmm, maybe to do this one would need to have pre-knowledge of global air currents. Ok I guess my idea fails at this point, collection seems the most sensible way.

SantaHoe

I'd like to see how this turns out actually, wheather someone is actually going to collect for the hell of it, maybe a few photos of the hand-over.

I'm nearly tempted to put our awful Computer Science department up for auction on eBay, I don't want to get the boot though :mad:

**well looked after by owner**

this is a quality item, i have played some awsome solos on this beast.

Now hold on, this is a bit dodgy. He says it was only used once, but that he played a lot of solos on it. Either he is lying and he has played it loads of times, or on his first try, after a load of solos, he found it there was some problem with it and he is offloading it quickly. I don't know if he can be trusted. I wouldn't buy it. Nevertheless, some bidder is likely to come in with a load of money and blow the competition away

Are you saying it might be a hot air guitar?

Flukey

That is what I was thinking. He doesn't even say what type of air guitar it is. Is it a 6 string or a 12 string? Is it a classical guitar? Can he play Air on a G-String on it?

Gordon

Everyone knows that air guitars are 6 string electrics with wireless interface hooked up to a Marshall stack.

Flukey

Of course, but this guy could be trying it on and selling us a dud. He didn't say what type it was, leaving you to assume it was a standard one. It may look like one in the photo, but that could be borrowed from a friend. All part of his cunning plan to con us. He's no air-head this guy. For all we know, it may even be stolen, so as has already been suggested, it could well be hot air!

Gordon

Crikes, you could be right, I guess I was won over by the air of confidence he portrayed. How do I undo my bid on eBay?

Flukey

You've bid? Oh my God!!!! The more I think about this the more suspicious it sounds. How often do you see air guitars being sold on the net? I bet it is stolen and they have a load of others. The cops may be on to them and they can feel a storm brewing. I know it's hard to put the wind up these type of criminals, but this is something they don't want to be caught with. If you have put a bid on, I wouldn't withdraw it. They'll come after you like a tornado. Your life could be in danger. They may even have air guns!

Item location: Liverpool

it's definately 'hot', i don't know if anybody else noticed, but he's from liverpool. i don't think there's a single thing in liverpool thats still with the original owner.

Gordon

I'm sure I'll be outbidded pretty quickly.

Flukey

Well if people cop on to what is going on, there might not be any more bids. You might breeze through to win the auction.

tuxy

im sure this was done before and probably more than once
move along nothing to see here

Flukey

No sign of Gordon. Maybe they blew him away!

tba

I bid some peace of mind if ebay let me.

Flukey

Now that is a high bid!

Blisterman

Hey, look at the picture, that's not an air guitar, that's an air bass.
it's too late, bidding's over. Well £1.70's still good for an air bass.

Flukey

Sold for a rock bottom price.
