Anyone want to buy a brand new old stock "signed" Robert Johnson guitar strap? A steal for sure at $137.00... you know, considering Robert signed it

"New Old Stock Vintage Robert Johnson Professional Signed Signature Black Leather"

"IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL PHOTOS EMAIL ME- I CAN SEND YOU A CLOSEUP OF THE SIGNATURE"

I have heard that Robert was never too busy to sign a guitar strap for some wide-eyed kid, usually while touring the big arena's in Europe.

:smoke:

I'm sorry, but I'd have a hard time paying over $40-$50 for a leather strap, whether Mr. Johnson 'signed' it (lol) or not! My main strap that I use is a suede Levy and it has been doing great for the past 11 years since I bought it for $30.

You start getting over the $50 I might as well tan a deer hide and make my own.

poor deer........

Re: EBay dumbasses.
 

Yeah I got one of these and it came with a free photo album of pics of Robert on stage and a signed C.O.A. Great value for only $137.00

Well I'm all fired up now! :lol: I sent the seller a question--I asked "Signed by whom? Robert Johnson died in 1938." Then I told them they might fool some but most were laughing at their attempts to fool the public.
Then-----I reported them to eBay.
Nothing may come of it, in fact, I doubt anything will. There is too much crap on there we all know is wrong or downright fraudulent and ebay does nothing to fix it.
I did receive a reply from the seller stating what they were selling was perfectly legal and that I obvisously hadn't read the complete description and my email was inappropriate. I fired a reply back saying I had read the entire description and that my email was fine but their ad was inappropriate. So far, no second response.
Somtimes I just like to rattle cages...........

Re: EBay dumbasses.
 

Got a response---"stop harrassing me" Hmmmm, maybe I was harrassing her. Soooooo, I fired a response back, apologizing if she felt harrassed and stating all I was looking for was accuracy in the ad.

Seriously, do ya think I'm harrassing her? I feel kind of bad, now.:mad:

Re: EBay dumbasses.
 

I just thought of something: If a few more of us just asked the seller the simple question, "Is this really signed by Robert Johnson?" Then maybe she'll get the hint. Also, I checked her other items for sale and she has the Robert Johnson strap in brown and wine, too. Chances are, this poor woman has received some bad advice or just plain didn't think when she posted the auction the way she did.
Before I would spend $137.00 on this strap, I would spend the money on a strap from Guitstrapped. I ran across this when I received an email from the guy asking me when I served aboard the USS Power as he had served aboard her, too. Then, deducing from my email addy, I might be a musician so he sent me a link to his site. I think they are beautiful and plan on eventually getting one. Please have a look..........oh, he is in Camp Verde, Arizona. Is that in your neighborhood OWB and WnW?

Camp Verde AZ is a couple hundred miles from Tucson and i also emailed her stating it obviously was a blatant ripoff!

Re: EBay dumbasses.
 

Well i think its clear that RJ never signed any of these straps (they even come in different colors),they are manufactured with the signature printed on them , like many other musical instruments & accessories with different signatures .
