Location: Indiana | I recently bought an Ovation GP - just because I had never seen one and the price was very fair. I am ready to sell the item as I am not an electric player but have no real idea what a fair price is on this guitar. I had made a post to some site (I don't even recall where it was at this point) and had an almost immediate offer of $1250 from an individual - but he is in financial limbo at this point and I have waited several months for him to recover. At this point I'd like to make the sale and move on.
Obviously, I am new to this forum, but
have been an Ovation owner/player for over 35 years |

Location: NW Washington State | There was one recently on Seattle Craigslist for $500- a ridiculously low price. One just sold on eBay for $2275. Another got no bids at $2500 - do an eBay completed items search for details.
I'll be happy to buy it for $500. ;)

Obviously, I am new to this forum... Welcome Tom, Hang around and get to know everyone here.
If I was in a selling mood and wanted to maximize my profits, I would hold on to my GP for a few months hoping that wallets loosen up enough to support G.A.S. or throw it up on eBay or Craigslist and state Best-Offer.
Otherwise, it appears that you already know a fair asking price. |

Location: Indiana | Lot more response than I would have ever expected - looks like signing up here was a good move.
It is good to find other Ovation fans out there. When I saw Glen Campbell playing back in the late 60's - I knew I wanted one and have had (at least) one roundback ever since.
I would be interested in taking serious offers on the GP - thanks to Tim for posting photos on my behalf. I will be leaving tomorrow and on the road for a few days but will respond when possible.
Thanks guys -

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Say AJ, why don't you just rent a container for your guitar purchases and when it is filled up (about six months?), have it shipped down under? It would save you a bunch on shipping guitars individually. |

Location: Indiana | Sorry it has taken me so long to reply - I am on the road a lot lately. I have two offers on the table for $1250 and am wondering if there is anyone out there who would have an Adamas they would be interested in in trading for the GP. I would be open to discussing this option.
