Man Buys A Guitar Worth $50,000 For $4000 And Later, The Seller Goes To Extreme Measures To Get It Back After Finding Out The Real Value
If you’ve ever undersold anything at all and later found out the real price, then you’ll understand how the boy in this story felt. You’ll feel as if you had gold in your hands and sold it for peanuts.
The next thing, you’re cracking your brain on how to get it back. Some people might let it go and blame themselves for being ignorant, while others will keep pestering to get the product back, which is what the seller in this story did.
This story is from a Reddit user named u/fhdksTHROWAWAY, whose wife’s colleague wanted to sell a guitar. This guitar belonged to his late father, who he wasn’t so attached to.
So when he died, he started selling off his father’s property, and the guitar was amongst these properties. According to u/fhdksTHROWAWAY, who played guitar, the guitar was a 1952 Telecaster in mint condition, and the guy in question was selling it for $4000 when its real value was $50,000.
All went south when the boy found out and demanded the guitar back, which u/fhdksTHROWAWAY declined, saying he wasn’t selling. Now, u/fhdksTHROWAWAY is asking the Reddit AITA community if he was at fault for knowing the real price of the guitar but choosing to buy it at the amount the boy sold it for.
I’ll take a break here and let you read this story from the horse’s mouth.

This is a tough one, and it has two angles to it, but you can only take one. Would you blame the man for his purchasing decision despite knowing the actual price of the guitar he bought?
Or do you support him since, after all, the seller didn’t do his research? Let’s have your take on this issue by dropping your comments below!
