Facebook Marketplace Seller Shocked When Country Star Shows Up to Buy Guitar

Facebook Marketplace is one of the best spots to score a great deal. You never know what you might find, and if it’s something good, you’d better act quickly, or you could miss it. Shane Allen, who lives in Florida, decided to part with a very special guitar. He posted the Gibson J-45 on Facebook Marketplace and was contacted by a prospective buyer. What Shane didn’t know was that the instrument would end up in the hands of one of country music’s fastest-rising stars. When he arranged for the Facebook Marketplace buyer to pick up the guitar, Shane Allen never expected Riley Green.

Shane posted about meeting Riley Green for the Facebook Marketplace sale.

“Didn’t really wanna sell this girl,but thought i would throw it on Marketplace. When i got to the place that i agreed-upon meeting spot, it turned out to be Riley Green himself who was interested in buying it. Let me tell ya folks. This guy didn’t have to meet up with this regular Joe. Heck he could have sent anybody to buy my guitar! Instead he invited me to meet him and look at guitar. When i seen that he was the one buying it, well it made selling it feel a little better! I hope to see him throwing them pic marks on her soon,” Shane wrote. “There will be another J-45 in this guys future.”

Riley Green fans loved seeing him purchasing from Facebook Marketplace.

“Anyone got a guitar I can borrow to put on market place? (Hubby, if you see this, I’m just kidding!)” A fan joked.

This person loved it too, writing, “Cool to see stuff like this. I’d prob be busy and be like sorry I can’t meet until Saturday. He’d say sorry I got show. A few days later I’d put 2 and 2 together, and my daughter would disown me.”

This fan totally nailed it. “This might be the first catfish where there was a positive outcome.”
