"Vintage" Fender hard case

This joker is asking top dinero for an entirely unremarkable hard case on the premise of it being well...vintage & original.
I know some sellers can get carried away with the hyperbole, dreaming of unrealistic prices for everyday instruments, but for a hard case?

Why does this bother me as much as it does? :rolleyes:

I've owned a Fender in a case like this and I would never buy one again. The case that is.

Maybe it's bothering you because it's a rip-off. But I don't think anyone will buy it at that price.
If they do then they've got more money than sense and can safely be ignored...

Ages ago someone gave me a Gibson LP Custom Shop hard case. Had a clearout & ended up sticking it on Ebay (99p, no reserve) and it got bid up to about £170 - which someone happily paid!

Maybe Gibbo guitar cases are special (I wouldn't know) but plainly people can and do pay silly money for a box with a handle.

I think it is a late 70's / 80's case, I guess if you have a mint Precision with non original case it would be worth having, at £70.00 posted I would probably take it for my 79 Precision but at £140.00 it is too expensive.

I brought a USA Strat last year just for the case, the guitar was offered cheap enough to buy it, take the case and sell the guitar on for slightly more than i paid for it so my 62 reissue now has a genuine Fender case

Check this one out if you thought the other one was expensive!
