Location: Scotland | $2.5K is at least where a guitar of that vintage, quality, condition and rarity should be, so what's the problem? |

Location: Jet City | You can put any kind of price tag on anything you want to. Doesn't mean it will sell.
I saw that listing last night. It was on the same page as another ad selling a used copy of Logic Express 7.2 for $299
Logic Express 8 is $199 new from Apple. |

Location: Jet City | could be as simple as:
SWMBO: "You have too many guitars"
HWMO: "OK, I'll try to sell one, but if I can't get what it's worth, it stays."
2 weeks later...
HWMO: "well I tried, guess it stays"
:D |

Location: CA | Holy bejeebers. Talk about clone wars. Lessee, if I got the right stain, and made up a pretty decent decal, perhaps I could also get about 10 times more than an otherwise ordinary Ovation is worth.
For those prices, it would be Adamas all the way for me. |

Maybe in 2076 I'd bet sooner than that, although the tricentennial should be a real hoot. Too bad I'll miss it and collecting the bet!  |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I love the story recently told here. After the run of 1,776 Patriot guitars were produced, there were some leftover materials, so a few more years later, Ovation recommenced production of the same guitar, sans the decals, and called it a Legend Limited. More knowledgeable members can confirm this, but the logic is obvious. |

I've wondered before if my kids will check the value of #76 around that time. Alas, even if I make it that long (VERRRY doubtful), I'd be in a vegetative state by then anyway. :rolleyes:
Out of curiosity, I know where #1 is, but does anyone know where #1776 is. I'd be very interested in that one. Not $2500 worth of interested, but VERY interested indeed.  |
