That last part is very true, but there has never been an Agile LP sold on Reverb or Ebay at anywhere near $1500 (nor should there be) so it certainly doesn't "work" lol. Most people before buying a used guitar will at least attempt to get an idea of what they typically sell for used, and it's easier than ever to find that information out with the internet.

Not saying getting a sucker is impossible, but it is certainly extremely unlikely which is why you see these listings remain up on Reverb for 2+ years every time.

Or maybe his wife forced him to sell and he jacked up the price so it won't sell?

100% - I know I paid a HEAVY price for my Washburn LA604, but it had to be THAT specific model and it was the only one I could find. I paid up knowing it was a huge sum for what it was.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

The facebook sales page for camera gear is full of chancers/people that don't know better selling stuff for fairy tale prices, but there are still people out there too lazy to do some research and figure out how much something is worth,
