What's even more unbelieveable is that someone is bidding on it. They are a zero-feedback bidder, so its may be a shill-bid, or perhaps a newbie who didn't read the listing closely, OR maybe just someone who is in love with Fender or has that guitar or something....

Bid on by a 1 feedback newbie and now topped by a zero feedback newbie. On an auction by a zero feedback newbie. Smells funny to me.

$5 shipping? It's a bit crazy at the moment - I reported some yoyos last week for wanting $15 for shipping an SD-2 manual.

eBay probably found out it was shill bidding, or perhaps someone misread the description and thought they were bidding on the guitar, so they retracted their bid...In fact according to the bidding history, the zero feedback bidder entered the wrong amount....somethings still a bit fishy to me about this hole thing...so now there's just 1 bidder who bid 17 times on an item
