Location: Upper Left USA | Things I hate about Ebay:
- Seller posts low price but conpensates with formidable shipping costs.
- Seller stretches use of language to where description is comical not to mention useless.
- Bad pictures.
- Worse pictures.
- Reely pore spell'in!
- Overuse of the words "vintage", "rare", "collectible", etc.
- Any time that someone states they are not a guitar player but this one plays perfectly!
- Private Sellers. Sorry Trawler, but Ebay is about being open and visible.
I am glad that the Celebrities continue to have bridge bolts and MOP markers so that even bad pictures can tell a story. |

Location: Carle Place, NY | Too bad the seller is in China, offers no decription and keeps his feedback private because this looks like a nice 1719 Custom Legend. The BIN and shipping comes to only $312 US!! Quite a deal for someone who is willing to take a chance on it. Seller takes PayPal, so there might be some protection there if the buyer has a premier PP account. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | And you get a 5% discount on shipping if you buy only one item? I suppose that means if you don't buy anything, you don't get any discount. That would only make sense to my wife. |

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | It my not even be an Ovation. I might be missing something but can't see the headstock and the bridge seems a little long, really can't even tell if it has a round back. |

You still can't see the danged headstock... |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | I'm going to say, late 80's to early 90's Custom Legend, deep bowl, with an OP24 preamp, just at a glance. If it's a knockoff, it's a really good one - carved bridge, abalone inlays along the fretboard...I haven't seen a copy this close. Anyone ever seen that? |

isn't that kind of a kin to "if you love it so much, why don't you mary it?" |

Location: So. Cal. | I just finished chatting with the seller. It's a Chiness made copy from China, brand spanking new! He almost die when I told him I knew the factory. He thought I was counter - counterfeit police! |

Location: Orange County, California | I would have loved to heard that conversation. I wouldn't have been able to understand any of it, but that "Oh $4it, am I busted!?" reaction is priceless in any language. :D :p
Was it your "brittish accent"? |

Location: So. Cal. | Fred,
we were actually talking via IM (it's called QQ - a very popular IM protocol used throughout China)... He said, 'Don't scare me, are you "fighting counterfeit"' I paused, he said, "Oh my god, don't look for me..." I wondered if he fell off his chair then. |
