Location: Marlton, NJ | Foyle - It's for real and it's spectacular! I just got one last week and I love it. It plays great and sounds great (and looks great too!) That's a really good starting price too. If it goes for anything near that, it's a great deal.
Where in Westchester are you from? I used to live in Ossining and Cold Spring and worked in Tarrytown. My in-laws live in Hawthorne. |

Location: Westchester, NY | Im tempted but the seller has no rating and Paypal will only protect the sale to $200. Seems risky. |

Location: PDX | everyone has to start somewhere. Email the seller and tell him or her your concerns. You'll get a feel if they are trustworthy.
These don't come up often.

Location: big island | the guitar is in "shoeroom" condition. hmmmm...does that mean it has mudtracks all over it and stinks?
yeah foyle, i agree with gh1, have some dialogue with the seller. perhaps you guys can exchange phone numbers as it would be better to talk than emailing though.
the guitar looks awesome! |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | It is always a shame when hopefully a "legitmate" seller starts off his eBay career with a big ticket item. Really scares away some of the serious buyers.
I agree with the others. Email for a phone number and give the seller a call. Maybe an OFCer that is local to the area could go by and have a look or pick it up for you. |

Location: Westchester, NY | Well, I lost the bid, started at 1,900,, 100 over the reserve. winning bid was 1975. Looks like the winner is a collector as based upon their (9) transactions they've bought a mandolin, bass and 4 guitars this year. |

Location: Westchester, NY | Is there an OFCer in the Chicago area?
I was contacted by Charlie Chan, a new OFCer from Suburban Chicago who is selling a Millenium Edition Adamas. He recently posted his intent to sale on this forum, but no one responded. |
