I'm thinking it's a typo. Clearly, it should be $450,000. Shocked

For $45K, you'd think he could toss in free shipping...

Great, Andy. You can start the layaway plan now and your descendants should be able to pick up the guitar in 192 years. Good things are worth waiting for...

It's comforting to know that, at that price, you'll be getting the last one.

This seller sold the original Rick Amp in an earlier auction. He listed it for $995, but he accepted an offer. He is also taking offers for this lap steel. I think the $45K price is just an attention grabber designed to get guys like us to look at the guitar... and make an offer.

I would have looked at it more quickly if it were $100.

If he gets his asking price, I might consider listing mine for $32,000

this is the first Ric frypan i have seen for sale since last Oct. i was on the hunt for a long time for one and finally got one earlier this year. its funny, there will be 9+ months and not a trace of one, then within a month you'll see 3-4 pop up together.

The seller knows d@mn well that his price is about 12 times over market value. He's looking for Offers. When a seller uses the "Best Offer" option he must also have a "Buy it Now" price. So why not state a crazy high price? It might encourage or convince some buyers to offer high. I don't consider 45K to be a serious price, and I don't think the seller does either.

A guy in Japan bought an old 8 string pan about a year ago, maybe only the 2nd known to exist, and he got it for around a few grand. But no doubt this 45K 6er is much better and legitimately worth so much more... or, no.

I made a fair offer and it was instantaneously rejected.

Unless the ebay rules have changed- you are charged a percentage of the auction starting price-
I always started my auctions for a dollar...

I don't think it's like that any more. I just started a listing with an opening price of $499.00, and the "insertion fee" (no jokes please!) was only $2. If you choose a lot of add-ons, like expanded pictures, bold title, a buy-it-now price, etc., the fee increases.

The "final value fee" is, of course, based on the selling price at the end of the auction.

I'm beginning to think that this seller is just showing off his Fry Pan and he doesn't care if it sells or not. Confused

I think you may be right Doug. Usually at least get a counter when I make an offer.

I think that he is looking for people that are "out of touch with reality."

The other option, he is "out of touch with reality" and may need some psychological assistance.

If it were Sol Ho'opi'i's personal guitar, and signed by him AND George Beauchamp, and it had also been on the Apollo 11 mission, maybe.

That guy is higher than my AC bill.

In 1990 the music store where I took guitar lessons (Famous Bargain Music in Atlanta) had some 50's Stratocasters. I remember thinking "What kind of idiot would pay $1500.00 - 2000.00 for a Stratocaster?"

That said, I doubt wealthy baby-boomers are going to give up idolizing Stevie Ray, Jimi, and Eric and suddenly begin obsessing over the subtleties of the Dick McIntire sound.

Make's me wonder what David Kelii's 8 string pan would be worth. To most just another steel, but some might consider it priceless.

It reminds me of a recent episode on "Pawn Stars" where a guy brought in an old vintage 1940's tube amp with the name "Hank" plated on the back. He said it was Hank Williams personal amp and was asking $450,000 for it. Never mind that Hank Sr always played a non amplified acoustic guitar and all of the hundreds of photos of him that survive show Hank playing a Martin or Gibson acoustic.
The guy was a bit disappointed when the pawn shop owner offered him $200. I wonder if that's the same guy with this old frypan?

I'll have to admit, I'm a pretty new convert from guitar to steels so values are little above my head at this point. So, When I saw the askin price for this frying pan on ebay I was tryin to figure out what I was missin.

I looked at the sellers other auctions and there are 2 other vintage instruments, various halloween decorations & collectibles, but his primary 31 auctions are for (not making this up) fossilized Dinosaur Excrement. Shocked

So as smart as you guys think you are about Ricks, you are gonna have to admit this guy really knows his poo. Laughing

This is one way to get a FREE market appraisal on an item you when have no idea of its value?
Stick on an unrealistic price & see what offers come in!
If it doesn't sell, it costs you very little.
If it does sell, you're laughing all the way to the bank!
You may just find out the current ballpark market value!
