    Deal of the century!!!!

    So I got on the old interwebs and was checking out Facebook marketplace. I came across a picture of a guitar headstock with a ridiculously low price tag. I clicked on it and it said 2 guitars ones a really nice child's guitar. So I sent a message and asked how much for both. She said $20... $10 each! I rushed over and she came to give them to me. When she handed the child's guitar to me she kept saying its really nice. Its a cheap fake toy crap guitar. She handed the other and said this ones a "jibson"

    She handed me a 1990 Gibson J-30!!!! $10 for it and I'm super happy! It has some issues but nothing being a Gibson Acoustic employee can't fix!

    Get the heck outta here! That is beyond ridiculous, you lucky bugger.

    I'll give you $20 for it, easy double your money! Lol.

    I would've had to give her more cash to keep from feeling bad (but then, I've NEVER been fortunate enough to find myself in a situation where I could test that thought!)
    Nice find!

    Best I ever found was a '72 Fender precision for $50 at a garage sale.

    It was was pretty beat up, so refinished it and kept it for about 15 years. I eventually sold it for $850 to enable me to buy a Stingray.
