Yes. It's sort of sad, but I've talked to countless people that think an "air guitar" is a guitar that uses air..

i remember once seeing an item that said "air guitar with accessories" and that's exactly what he was selling... an air guitar and a random selection of guitar stuff.. picks string winders a few cables

that's about the only way you can sell an air guitar on ebay without having it closed by the ebay police

Yeah I'm pretty sure your "stupid bidders" are probably in on the joke.
2004-06-05, 9:39 AM #15
LOL!
Of course they are.
WHat do you think is going through their minds when they see the picture of the guy 'playing' the air guitar?
If I was a rich man, I'd bid 50 bucks to the first one just for making me laugh.
But since I'm a poor man I'll just laugh and move on.

My main point about these auctions is that they're still going on all the time. They're not original and they're not funny. It's not about the stupidity of the buyers, it's that of the sellers.

I say we all jack up the bid to some ungodly amount, and hopefully screw up the e-bay page.

Well, I guess this sort of thing brings attention to the site. People who scroll through the site looking for such stupid joke products may come across a real product that personally interests them.
