Location: south east Michigan | Woody mentioned the idea.
I held back a couple calendars in case of loss or damage. I was able to take care of a couple members (regular, names-you-would-know type members mind you) who somehow missed all the posts about the calendar.
I put this last one up on e-bay. Now please...I'm not trying to squeeze any OFC members here. I feel that everyone had plenty of time and notice to order if they wanted one. This is meant for someone like "trawler" or "superiorkayak". That crazy Ovation fan out there who does not have the time to vist us here.
I started it at $25 and put a "Buy It Now" at $100. You never know what will happen. And since the OFC store is slumping as of late, this might help pick up the slack. |

Location: Midland, MI | I had to decide between the OFC support, or the OFC calendar support. I went with Al and Miles. Searching fleeBay on 'ovation calendar', 'ofc calendar', 'ovation fan club' did not reveal your auction. Complete auctions returned a null set as well. Hrmm. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | While we're talking about the calendar I got mine and I have to say they are great. I bought ten and I'm proud to give away the other 9, as proud as anything that I gave away when I had that other job in Ct all those years ago. Great Job Brad and Designzilla! |

Oh...they would not make a calendar like that???
Nevermind.

BTW....Almost 100 people have looked at the ad and 12 are watching it. |

That's a bigger number than the Schaller Tuners from New Jersy!! :rolleyes:
I am staying out of the bidding for three good reasons:
A) I bought one (#1).
B) I want to see the non-Member exposure!
C) I am cheap. |

A) I couldn't figure out how to take a decent picture of my guitar to put in it;
B) I procrastinated;
C) I kept forgetting to ask my wife to send a check to Brad.
I'm not bidding on the ebay one because I'm too cheap. I'd feel stupid for spending a lot more money on something that I should have had if I had just got my ass in gear. |

I was looking at the cover of the calendar and I noticed the shadows of the guitar necks against the techincal drawing that you photoshopped in. Did you have to paint in the shadows yourself??? |

I posted a link in the for sale section at GuitarNoise. If anyone wants to post a link over at the Acoustic Guitar Forum, please do. I don't have the AGF listed in my "favorites" anymore. |

Location: Waurika OK | I am really torn up. Had bid on the calendar with the intention of buying and would have gone higher that the selling price.
Forgot about when the auction ended, when I got in from church last night it was all over. Been mentally kicking myself. (may be the only mental activity I am capable of) |

I am learning how to, more frequently, make my set it and forget it bids. Can't always be there in the final minutes.
Brad,
When will you take orders for next year? |

If there is enough interest in July, and Designzilla is up to the challenge, we will do it again. |
