Did this bring way too much $, or am I missing something?
Stripped finish, missing pickguard and pickup.

I was watching this, too.

Eh.

Low-end Supro/Valco guitars are really hot right now.

but yeah... possibly chopped neck, stripped out body? Little too rich for my tastes. Tosca re-brands for around this price.

Maybe someone's just obsessed with a new project? Or maybe someone's got an original wiring harness lying around? haha...

I had bid around $100, but expected it to go slightly higher say the 140 range, mostly due to case (not original). Always hope for the deal on E-bay.

But I have a few parts around from other stuff, and want a slide guitar.

I think the neck was ok, and the hole was supposed to be hidden with missing pickguard.

During the auction I searched for original parts with no luck, couldnt even find a good photo of the pickup.
