the_jamez -> $10 Yamaha? (Sep. 14 2006 10:40:07)

Hey guys, I just came across a yamaha cg171-sf with a current bid of $10.50 on ebay. You can't really make out the condition of the guitar but the seller mentions that its like new. What gives???

"Edit" Sorry for got to mention the link :

I think some1 else has already mentioned it anyway [&:]

If you would only buy the mechanics the wood and the polish in a market. And exacly as much as you need to build a guitar. You would have to spend more money the 10$ and if you iclude the building hours you get easy over 100$. So this guitar must be made by kids in the third world or its worser than you can imagine or its a joke.

With hard case included ? Maybe 1050 Dollar is more like it.

There are still 9 days to make an offer...if it's that one:

I'm sure it will be sold for a normal price.

How about a guess how much it will be finally?
I think it'll be about 280$ Who bids more?[;)]

the_jamez -> RE: $10 Yamaha? (Sep. 14 2006 13:37:32)

Donno whether i should place a bid on this and take my chances with it.. or buy a new one from music123..help? btw i live outside the US but i have an Aramex mailbox in NY so i can have it either one delivered there..Oh yea, one more thing.. the guitar on music123 is stated as Yamaha CG171SF "Classical Guitar".. is there such a thing as a cg171sf classical? or is that they just dont know the difference [:-] . Anyways thanks for your help guys




JBASHORUN -> RE: $10 Yamaha? (Sep. 14 2006 19:12:22)

Items on Ebay usually sell for 1/2 to 2/3 of their real value. That said, occasionally one sells for much more or much less and someone gets a bargain or shafted. But I'd say this guitar will sell for 1/2 to 2/3 of its value. But bear in mind that the Yamaha is NOT an expensive guitar to buy brand new anyway, so unless its the un-availability that draws in punters, we won't be talking major figures. Worth puting in a bid, but don't go mad.

"Classical guitar" is the generic name some people use for all nylon stringed guitars. Obviously there's a difference between classicals and flamencos, but big companies often can't be bothered to take note of this. The CG171SF is a (cheap) FLAMENCO guitar.

If I remember rightly, the "CG171SF" stands for Classical Guitar 171 Standard Flamenco.

Does any1 know if i can get a better sounding/playing guitar that the yamaha for less than $900? I had a look at some of the Cordoba models but they don't look too convincing..any suggestions?




Skai -> RE: $10 Yamaha? (Sep. 22 2006 15:56:50)

The Cordoba flamenco guitars are shockingly classical. [:D]
Don't get them despite what the ratings at online stores say! Those fellas probably play bossa nova and some fake-menco.

Good guess GuxDiBux- it sold for $285.55, Which is approximately what most of us were expecting.

$285.55 - that's way too much, 280 would have been ok.[;)]
