For those of you to whom it makes a difference, since you can't see the bidders anymore.

Great price for such a nice guitar. I think I got the first '05 on this board when they came out and paid (?) $1700. or something like that. In my opinion was still worth it at that price. These are REALLY nice. Congratulations. Dave

these types of posts will not be tolerated. I am glad you got the guitar but just bid and the one with the highest bid will win.
if you bid against an ofc member those are the breaks.
If you really feel the need to tell everyone which guitar you are bidding on please privately e mail those individuals

Al,

Sorry. I won't do it again. I had just noticed the threads that lamented that folks couldn't see who was bidding on eBay items anymore and had read elsewhere about people watching to see that they didn't unnecessarily bid each other up and so I posted. With all I had read I had no idea there was a restriction.

Like I say, sorry - won't happen again.

Of couse we could come up with some kind of code language. Like this:

"Wow check out this groovy auction. This is only the third one I've ever seen like this".

"groovy auction" is the alert code that you are a bidder. "third" signifies that you are bidder no.3

Al's probably cancelling my next guitar order right now ...

I bet that as a child, Dave was banned from the zoo because he would always take a stick and poke at the polar bears throught the fence.
Just a guess.

Brad is not too far off from the truth ...

Hey, isn't Al traveling to Columbus today? Let's post a bunch of swear words and dirty jokes and just see what happens.

It's fun to jerk some chains once in awhile. I suspect Dave has so many chains he's jerking he looks like a punk rocker. Actually, the nuns always told my parents that it's the angelic-looking kids that are the real troublemakers.

So I am guessing that that is a Contour Bowl? I haven't handled one of those. Not much of a selection around here, no true deep bowls either.
With the New E-baaa system, you can still find the info on the jerk that outbid ya'!
Since $800 is a "good deal", I won't be buying one of them anytime soon.

Yes. It's the first contour bowl model. That's one of the reasons I wanted it. It also completes my collection of the [currently available] Contour Collectors. Then, of course, there are the more prosaic desires for great sound, looks and playability.

I may have to get me one of dem. I started-out with a coupla SSB's. Then an Artist Bowl. Which gave me something to compare the SSB's to... Next (probably tax-return-time) I gotta get either a deep- or contour bowl.
Now I plug-in my 057 (needs Bass). The 4861 still sounds okay ala carte.

Nice win on a very nice guitar, and at a great price. I was watching this one, and wondering at the time whether Ovation made a Collector's Country Artist version, ie, nylon strings, but not the wide classical neck (Josh White size)? If so, do you know the year, perhaps have a photo. My CA is ca. 1978, and still one of my favorites.
