Go! Go! Go!
For those you you preparing to fight it out over these, I wanted to let you know I have one of these in better condition than either of these. I will reluctantly let mine go for a mere $5K. Small denomination bills preferred. |

And I still have my One-of-a-Kind Honey-Boist Pacemaker I will let go for a measly $5,000! |

Location: Tennessee | Well, that's interesting. When I posted last night, #1 was an $8500 BIN. Seller must have adjusted the price to be consistent with the true going price for these. :cool:
Mark, you are absolutely correct. But I will apply a 20% discount for OFC members, making your price a bargain $6,320. I will ship priority overnight for free! Hit me up, guys! |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Makes as much sense as the, "What is this guitar (that I just bought, but I'm going to tell you that I just inherited it) worth?" questions. Then they'll argue with you, saying they just saw one like it on ebay for $7900. |

Location: Tennessee | No Woody, the 20% discount is of the $7900. I think a lawyer threatened me with a devaluation suit, so as a sales person, I was figuring a way around it and still making a good deal for my brethren here. And Sarbanes-Oxely requires I deposit funds into a defense fund now that I have been advised of potential liability for "dumping". ;) |
