This cracks me up:

YOU ARE BIDDING ON (2) PIECES OF 100% ORIGINAL 1956 FENDER STRATOCASTER PICKUP TAPE. EVERYTHING IS IN 100% PERFECT WORKING ORDER AS PICTURED.

[Possum]

....

What a load of bull, "in working order" yet he hasn't tested them, how do we really know the stuff still works? I betcha you'll unroll and TRY to put it back around some strat leads and it will FALL OFF USELESSLY like a used condom and lay limp on the floor. I want to see lab testing on these before I dig out my hard earned cash.....c'mon

I wonder if this guy is taking apart old guitars to sell as parts. Seem to be a disturbing trend these days.

Thats what I was thinking. That's a shame

I saw someone doing that to a mid 70's Ric 4001 on eBay. They got like $200 just for the TRC! I can see if the bass is badly damages or just a wreck, but it was a perfectly good instrument.

It's all part of the vintage=$$$ mentality that was fueled by the guitar collectors artificially inflating the vintage market.

How is old tape valuable to anyone?

This stuff is very valuable to guys who make fakes.

Ah.. And see if people didn't think the old pickups were so valuable they couldn't make money off them! An old Strat shouldn't be worth like $16,000.

Now THIS is funny:

YOU ARE BIDDING ON (1) ORIGINAL 1955 FENDER STRATOCASTER MIDDLE PICKUP IN NON-WORKING CONDITION. THE PICKUP HAS THE CORRECT NORTH POLARITY AND RAISED D POLE MAGNET. EVERYTHING IS IN 100% PERFECT WORKING ORDER AS PICTURED.

That's from the item description for a DOA Strat middle pickup being sold for $500.
