i am in the uk and one of my neighbours took a really bad beatles lp to a dealer and he started laughing and said it was to scratched and it even had a piece broken off. so jus for a bit of fun i offered her £100 and then the greed set in and she wanted more . so i offered her £200 then £300 then £400 and still she thought i would pay more . i took it to £1000 and yes she still thought i was ripping her off . at this i started to laugh and told her i wouldnt give her £5 its total rubbish . it just shows how greedy people get when they think they have something valuable

250 is more than I would have offered...$200 seems right to me but regardless with the Duncans in there, he can sell that thing for $400-$450 easily and bring in an easy $200 profit.

[@robotpizza]

Usually, unless it's an older Epiphone ( before Gibson bought them), they don't go for as much as like a Gibson LesPaul of that same year. I'm surprised he offered that much money cause he may only get like $200 - $250 for it. Hey, what do I know...to each their own!

Lebron can play 45 years and get 10x more points than any other player combined but he will never be the GOAT. The GOAT would never walk out of a game with 5 minutes left just because they are losing. If Kobe could he would have played those last 5 minutes 1 on 5 and win or lose he wouldn’t quit. Jordan played through food poisoning (Flu game) and played 18 holes of golf before a game and would never quit. The GOAT has heart , there is no quit in any person considered the GOAT.
