I am sure I saw this before but I can't find it anyway, but if you have just over a grand to spare, you couldn't do much worse than throw it on this:

Knew who the seller was before clicking on that!

They've been trying to flog that for quite a while.  Seven or eight years at least.  Can't imagine why it's such a problem.

Not even bothering to click - guessing it's Cologne?

How does anyone acquire so many old bits and incomplete instruments? And does anyone buy these things? A strat neck plate for £1000, for example. I'm no expert, but that's a lot of money for a tiny piece of steel with 4 holes in it.

It's clickbait - the person posts junk to get folks attention.

Hmm... I suppose that makes me a clicktim* of this ploy.

Well, he got peoples attention but he isn't selling anything!

His main trade seems to be odd vintage parts with sensible prices, a lot of the weird stuff has been up there for years and I don't think he cares whether it sells or not. It's just junk he likely got for peanuts and is taking a chance on. 

 

I've actually bought from him in the past (like 15+ years ago, was a fret guard IIRC) as he had the thing I needed at the right price.
