This guy bought this really nice 1975 Gibson Flying V on 9/23/09 on eBay for $4,250. USD

Now, 12 days later, this guy is trying to flip the same guitar on eBay for $7,500. USD

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1975-Gibson-Flying-V-Guitar-100-Stock-CLEAN_W0QQitemZ360195199794QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item53dd4e9332&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I emailed the guy and asked him why he was selling the guitar so soon after he bought it. I asked him if there was something wrong with the guitar?

He kindly replied back to me from his IPhone  "It's called making money"

Now, I can't fault a guy for trying to make a buck. I believe in the free market. But I'll tell you what. I'm so sick of these pompous vintage guitar dealer snobs driving up the prices of these guitars.  Most guys who really dig and appreciate these old Gibson Flying V's (the guys that can actually play) won't be able to afford one because idiots like this keep flipping them and escalating the prices.

Ok, I'm done with my daily rant.  Thanks for listening!  Keep on rockin'

Shoot, in the 80's I used to buy these things for $400 - $600.00 and not many wanted the natural ones, because the look so ugly!  Give me a white or black one any day.<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input _onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Not yet, but at $7500, they're sure to fly off the shelf :)
