And we are notoriously frugal around here!

Can I arrange a pick-up, or will you email them to me. By the way, I love the color of the one on the left (or is it the one on the right?!?).

My reserve is higher than this opening bid but lower than the BIN! Ovation Nylon Strung Beauty
Consider this an Easter egg for anyone who does the research from the link. |

Their origin is mystic but I hope they end up at the EMP in seattle! |

Thanks for your speedy reply to my questions. I'm currently high bidder. I have a feeling this is going to be like that pre-war Martin & slot-head Adamas bidding war a few weeks back.

Waskel, I prefer to think of Colton as a mystical place where talking Wabbits live and play air guitars.
The real reason I thought it didn't exist is that I couldn't find it on the map, but that was because I didn't have my bifocals with the magnifying glass. |

Good luck to you serious collectors/bidders!
I received mine today (you must have air mailed it!) Very impressive, but I have to admit, I can't get any sound out of it. I think it's my technique. Will you be offering lessons on eBay, or should I try to look up Keanu? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | First of all let me say for the record that I'm REALLY pissed off to have been outbid by a number of my OFC friends. I thought we had gentlemens agreements on this kind of shit and frankly I think your actions are a real slap in the face. Lucky for you all that I don't hold a grudge.
Second thing (and I'm serious, Woody) I can see this little "prank" backfiring on you. Someone "legit" is going to win this and be disappointed that the item isn't what he was expecting and he'll leave you negative feedbck and fuck up your 100% rating. Just you wait, I see this coming a mile away.
It reminds me of the time I sent a phoney "resignation" letter to a bunch of my co-workers. My secretary is automatcally cc'd on all my business correspondence. She did what any good secretary would do (fix my mistakes) and corrected the distribution list to include my boss, who I obviously must have forgotten. I never knew the hinges on my door could withstand such a slamming.

I find that wherever I'm assigned I seem to promote Team Work. Everyone seems to work a lot harder when I join their crew!
In the Governmaent we have cubicles. Less likely to injure yourself being thrown out the door, possibly having a documentable injury claim. |
