Seriously though - as I gather it's quite a rare guitar, the value of which is likely to be appreciated by the kinds of people that use this forum. If he was selling a $100 Squier fair enough, but you can hardly blame a guy selling an expensive and obviously much loved guitar for wanting to make sure that (a) the sale gets a decent audience (b) that it goes to a good home.
You can hardly call it spam given that the dude posting is a forum regular (more so than the dude complaining) and the interest the thread has recieved either - the definition of spam being unsolicited and unwanted advertising.
