Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Essentially, everything in the sig-line is on-the-block. All auctions start at $0.9, with no reserve. All critters have cases, too.
Clearing out the inventory, to start over. I guess I will see what the market will bear, right now.
I'm sure there will be some excellent deals made, on some "seasoned" instruments. At this juncture, only the 1111- Ol' Faithful- is staying. Nobody would ever appreciate its worth, anyway.
So, 3 are currently listed, the rest hit the auction arena at 8:00 PM tonight, running for 7 days. I have all the shipping boxes, and packing materials, at-the-ready!! |

Location: NW Washington State | I bid on a few. I like the Academy, but the box guitar is even better! I think that Salmon Fishbox is a famous luthier, or maybe a blues band.
I've got parts too.
If you sell one to TJ, we can always buy it later... |

For the record, I have not lost my mind. I'm in the midst of reorganization, and this is a crucial part of the process. The money is nice, but wasn't the primary motivation.
And, thanks for the parts offers, & the supportive bids! After I get the office/workshop project accomplished, I may take all youse up on the offers.
Cheers,
Chris |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | 7-of-8 packed. One likely to be sold locally. Have bids on all of the critters, so they're leaving! Progress.
Be interesting to see where they all end up.
Lotsa the usual questions, & lotsa the usual answers. You can really tell there are still a lot of members of "The Great Unwashed" |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Interesting outcome. TJ got the Academy, MWoody got the Concert Classic, Numbfingers got the Fishbox, the Country Artist went to a plant nursery in Southern Cal, the Reso went to Michigan, the AE-38 Rebuild went to Utah, and the Pacemaker & Applause Beater were bought, & stayed here in Yakima.

Location: Upper Left USA | A fair and equitable auction in the true spirit of Fleabay! Totally ignoring the rest of the World and tapping a good 6% for capitolism!
:D
And I mean that in the best way possible...
Chris has always done a tremendous job of putting a great deal of passion into his projects and then send them out to be enjoyed.
To the East Baliwick Non-Profit Luthier School and Sanitorium... Salute!
AJ - You MUST get the Postal rules for OZ changed! I don't mean to sound boistrous but 42" is just not enough! (as a shipping limitation).
As far as my getting a guitar and case for the price of a case - let's just call it Chris' way to stimulate the economy. |

To be specific, though: "not-for-profit". Don't mind a windfall, now-and-then. |

Mike its actually 46".
It's ridiculous, Michael(Playadamas) sent me two recently one in an Ovation box and the other in an even bigger carton, cost about $140.
Took about a week, no problem.
So work that out?? :confused:
Maybe contact him and ask how he did it
