Ugly as fuck. They should've pulled the plug on that one before it left the factory.
Whatever about Maxwell's Silver Hammer, that's an abomination.
Zero tolerance for such a living monstrosity.
Ugly, but no worse than a lot of BC Rich stuff.
It's worse than every BC Rich.

:laugh: I'm conflicted.
It's an ugly guitar, but the price right now is pretty cheap for someone who's a superfan to own one of his actual guitars. I wonder how much it will jump up to by the end of the auction though...

Bravo! :laugh:
Just to note, this same lad is planning on selling his entire LP collection. I would say there is easily 30 grand worth of classics in there. Worth keeping an eye on.
The guy selling this is the VinylPolice guy on insta, he has one of the craziest collections of records I've ever seen and he just announced he's selling the whole lot too.
He must have the bones of 5,000 records/boxsets...some signed, rare, test presses, boxsets etc He's gonna make a lot of cash but his head will he wrecked selling that lot.
Mental to just wanna get rid of it all
Chuck out, if you will.

Starting out strong, first up, mint yellow goat!!
5 records sold and I'd say he's around 10 grand up already.
All I'm seeing is the guitar.
What else has he sold?
Sold first presses of
Bathory, Dark Medieval Times, DMDS, Transylvanian Hunger and Deathcrush
How much did the DMDS go for? I gave away - for free! - a copy on Metal Ireland back in the day when I was clearing stuff out...
The cult of ORIGINAL VINYL gets on my tits. If you pick something up original for a good price, then winner, but these people who pay hundreds or more on an original pressing of an album when you can easily buy a good quality reissue baffle me. I picture them with their museum gloves handling the precious cargo and crumbling in tears of there's any evidence of ageing on the jacket... fukin NERDS! Anyway, that's why I find out where they live and go and rob all their original pressings and leave them in charity shops for a fiver.
Yeah fuck that..imagine dropping a few grand on DMDS...mental. I'll stick to my shitty Back On Black picture disc :laugh:

Seems to go regularly for between 1500 - 2000 on discogs. Sometimes more

Giving it away for nowt wasn't my most intelligent move....
The hack of that guitar, fuck me. I like the BC Rich Stealth, Ironbid, and the Jackson Warrior, but you have to draw the line somewhere!!!
Is he selling the vinyl on Discogs or eBay?
I sold my (first) collection in 2014 and made about 12 grand on the lot.
I had a load of signed Dissection stuff, which helped. I can't remember the individual prices, but no single item sold for more than a grand, that is for sure! They'd be mental prices if I was selling them today.
I agree regarding the prices of original presses, especially the black metal stuff. The prices are just fucking daft!
If I'm buying something pricey, I'm thinking of it more as an investment than anything else.
I wasn't thinking like that when I was buying stuff in the 90s of course, but now I'm always thinking of it.
If I'm buying a new LP, I'll always go for the most LTD pressing as I can't take all this stuff to the grave with me, might as well buy what is most likely to appreciate in value.
The most expensive purchase I have made in the last couple of years was a secondhand copy of the And Justice For All box set, which was about 450 euros including shipping. I just have Master of Puppets left to get, but I won't be paying a grand for it!
Fuck that. I buy records to have, and to listen to. That's their value.
A bit of scuff or a pen mark of whatever adds character, fuck that spic and span new look, boys pointing out a little ding in the corner of an lp, them all aghast. They'd have had some look at me bringing an expensive Lovecraft compendium to work in my rucksack last week. And marking the stories I'd read with an X. Anyway...
These things must live and breathe, not be locked in air- sealed containers for speculators to dream about.
I wonder why the big sell of such a monstrous and carefully curated collection. My pure speculated instinct is there's a woman behind that somewhere. But who knows, maybe it's something much more innocent like drug addiction.
Both are prime possibilities , I find it very sad though, a lifetime's ...a life, just transformed to currency and gone.

It's tough to get rid of stuff like that too, so must be a fair old reason. Somewhat relevant to the thread but I have a Dimebag Washburn guitar that I got like 20yrs ago that is prob worth a few grand now. I literally never play the thing so it's bringing me no value and going to waste, and I know there's a big market for them out there, but I just can't bring myself to sell it.
Here's hoping you may never have to , I have no affiliation for guitars but if it is bound up in memories I hope you never need to sell it.
I can understand selling your collection off. At what age do you need to think about the hassle of leaving a few thousand CDs, LPs, tapes, tshirts, magazines, fanzines, guitars etc for your kid(s) to gave to deal with when you've kicked the bucket.

If you raised them right they'll gladly inherit it ;)
That's the hope alright, if only to save me fucking it all in a skip in a couple of decades :laugh:
