A notable ebay auction

[Tacye]

I have to share this desirable offering (so it says…) Yours for only £17.50 if in the UK!

Thanks for the laugh! 😀

[Allison Stevick]

That is hilarious!

[Marco Hilgeman]

Haha, ‘priceless’!

And right under the picture there’s this:

“People who viewed this item also viewed”…

Notice the 3rd item: a harp flight case, to prevent a broken neck 🙂

I like the way it’s only classified as “used” 😀

What I’m wondering is, where has it come from and what has that person done to the rest of that poor harp?!

[Marco Hilgeman]

Yeah Mae, it makes you wonder indeed….

But I guess in this case the damaged was caused by driving too fast:

Ha Haaa! yes I saw that this morning, now I like working with wood but that is one project that is way beyond me Im afraid, I hope it finds a good home, if it was a missing piece wouldnt that be a MIRICLE!!!

[Tacye]

Often a broken neck like this would lead to the whole neck being replaced, so the rest of the harp may be around somewhere and playable. I would have expected the tuning pins to have been rescued but new ones could have been used.

Another auction of a harp missing something…
