I'll keep all my fingers on hands and foots crossed for you. My possibly estimate is 1200 Euro. This amount costs my Adamas I 1688-8 on eBay.de. Maybe you have also luck :)

Location: Munich, Germany | Hi Karl,
I am quite sure that this guitar has been on the bay.de about one or two month ago. With the same description as a 'reissue', sold from a german for his greek friend - like it is announced now. I don't know if it was sold, but that sounds a little strange to me, because there have been a lot of bids. Maybe you will ask the seller about that. Better than dumping some money.
Best regards to germany from germany,
Kurt |

Location: France | Yes it was on the bey earlier and was sold, you can still see it under item number 7403538029.
The buyer is the actual seller, he said he has financial issues and need the money.
He bought it 1230 Euros in April.

Location: Germany | Thank you folks for your help, advice and congratulations. I always wanted a red 2-knobber (preferably a wide neck - but time made me feel humbled).
Kurt, I appreciate your advice. I will process the transaction via a trust service or pick it up personally. I will let you know when I have it in my hands.
Jozef, I'm more crazy than rich. If I would be rich, I would try to get an original slothead - but this is only a dream (Cliff, YOUR #54 is the Stradivari!).
Guiguite, I'm so sorry having overbidden you. Don't be sad - You have such an hell of Ovation and Adamas collection. Hope we can meet somewhere down the road and share our passion.

Ouch!
I'm GONNA get one of these! I just have to figure out what other "stuff" I can sell first. Hmmm ... the kids are all gone now, so THAT is out of the question ... Guitars? ... nope, can't do that either. |

Location: Germany | Sorry for bumping this thread, but I have bad news regarding this Adamas I. Got the guitar very fast, but it was not in the expected condition. It was born as a wide-neck (1689-2) and an amateur luthier converted it to a standard neck (1687-2):
Neck and peghead were damaged, frets and fretboard outworn.
All in all not worth the money I payed for it. As I handled the transaction via a trust service, I was allowed to send the item back and then got back my money from the trust service. The service costed me $19 but I had the certainty to get back my $1900. That's the world of ebay. What will be the next adventure?

I'm very happy that you were able to get your money back. Issues like that should have been fully disclosed. |
