Am I missing something, or...

Stuckfast

are people unlikely to pay nearly £300 for a pair of used strap locks?

Very simple you've just got to consider the following :- 

Schaller I buy them or schaller I leave it  ?

Handsome_Chris

And they're used!  

Saddlepunk

They're ultra rare out of focus straplocks...

... either that or they came off a strap that was once used on a Les Paul!

The seller will hopefully spend the proceeds of sale on a new camera....

SNAKEBITE

What about the rest of them?

Or did couldn't they make it over the wall with the other bits?

I suggested to the buyer that the price might be a misprint, and got the reply below. I wished him good luck...

"hello.the reason why it is at that price is because i could do with the money and if someone with a bit of understanding and a lot of money will want to do me a favour,then they can buy them.if you go to ebay.com,you can find a lot of people in the u.s doing this.a lot of time it is through need.lots of guitarists are doing well in bands,and that is who i am aiming this ad at....or anyone else who would wish to purchase them,shalom."

That is amazing - to be fair though you are getting a hell of a discount on what he originally listed them for - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rare-guitar-strap-locks-made-in-the-former-West-Germany-schaller-brand-/282639792342?hash=item41cea4f8d6:g:BL4AAOSwurVZjIDP&nma=true&si=tR1JJKLmJ19kVGVg4lzVUQofEuU%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

so does this mean I can list guitars on my web site as per the following

Surprised he hasn't listed his "retro 80's" duvet cover at a grand. There must be lots of wealthy bed owners who would be willing to do him a favour too. 

God loves a trier.

As are you. If you didn't subscribe to stereotypes then you could have simply not mentioned it. Yet here it is... uglying up the thread.

Yep, I'd willingly pay a load extra just because you're a worthy cause and I'm feeling charitable...
