Looking at these two auctions (saying you had the cash), which one would you buy?

<translated: overpriced, Kahlerized 2622>
Starting bid:   US $7,800.00

or

Ebay Item Number #260276898135

<translated: FREAKIN GORGEOUS!>

How I wish I had a spare 4K

I wonder what horrible translating program that first auction used.

[Mongo]

That ranks in the top bad translations I have read.

That ranks in the top bad translations I have read. 

It's so bad it's hilarious!

"The guitar works in the full form likewise felony of repair..."

The only felony/crime I see is the Kahler. Otherwise, he would have has something very nice to offer.

He has no problem with the last sentence: "i send the guitar all over the world!"

I think the flukey translation program must have converted $1000 into $7800.

I can't help grinning when I read such results from a computer program. 
During acquisition I sometimes speak to executives of engineering firms who think that these programs are really so good that they don't need a professional translator.

I hope that they get the same fantastic results as this guy.

PS:
For collectors Dave's 2622 would be a better choice than the Kahlerized one.
