Several nice Vipers are crawling out of the woodwork. I had a bid on the one below. Ealier today, the gsr1860 clown, current high bidder, bid it up over $1000, then retracted his bid. I know he was probing for the reserve price, which -- along with associated retraction -- is an Ebay no-no. If I read the bid list right, I think the reserve actually is $1000 (guy had bid $2000). Wow.

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR		The guy selling the blond viper said he compaired the sound of his viper to his 1949 Fender No-caster :eek: .....
The No-caster was only around for a short transitional period in early '51 until Leo Fender dubbed it the Telecaster!

Your wood finished Viper and Viper III are beautiful. I've been messing about for a nice Viper at a lower price point. And, will be selling my own well-used Viper soon.

I don't know what messing about means but stop it.

From the EbayEdzep dictionary: Messing About -- Bidding within a restricted range, with little hope of prevailing. I really should stop.
