Re: AZG sold recently on Reverb

Well....it's up for sale on eBay now.

Weirdly, the signature to Craig is still on the eBay ad, yet in the Toddzilla video, the signature has been removed?

Well I just went to link the eBay sale and it says "It's ended'!

0 bids. Someone trying to pass a Chinese VVV as the original?

Tom would have claimed the loss on his taxes if that's how it went down and I'm sure would have let the whole thing go. Sucks that he would have to carry the loss for a year but would he have been all square at the end. It's 12 years ago, so why worry about it now. Obviously no ill will towards Todd...
