| Hello OFC Friends...
While on the way to procuring an Adamas - I wandered and sent the email offering to buy this beauty... but alas... four days with no reply by the seller...
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/msg/2969000557.html
Hope it happens...

| I've been on both sides with craigslist flakes... I had to back out of a transaction on the seller side once.
Paisleys house... ha ha (peewee herman voice)
Perfectly filthy... well - I thought I saw finger prints in one of the other pics... so much for mint...
PREFECT - prefectly unobtainable...
and shipping to OHIO... actually I would do that - just give me three or four months with it and it can be yours next - of course that presumes the guitar is actively being shopped - perhaps he/she has a spam blocker keeping craigslist.com from forwarding my email!
Who knows...

Location: Upper Left USA | I have met some very nice people while swapping/selling via CL but you should always protect yourself and mitigate what you are getting into.
To me CL is an easy Online Garage Sale venue. When it becomes more of a Bussiness venture then it needs to somewhere else... like Ebay. |

| carry?
then I would be out... even a "prefect" flame Ovation is not worth being armed and willing to use lethal force as part of the acquisition process...
we'll see... I have no confidence this transaction will ever happen anyway. |

Carl, it's an O. Come on. You gotta want it!
And...it makes for a tremendous story to tell the grand kids. |

But have them meet you in front of the Police Station or Court House (during business hours).
That will limit any problems if you are concerned.

Location: Ohio | You're absolutely right. I wouldn't carry as a means to acquire anything or even protect property for that matter. I wouldn't hesitate to use it to save my own life or the life of a loved one though. Generally speaking I don't carry. I am licensed though and I carry when I feel it's warranted.

Location: Ohio | Well I got a nasty email from him regarding his meeting with you Carl. I don't know what went down, but I exchanged a half dozen emails with him trying to set this up. What happened? |

| First... I do appreciate that you set it up...
And I did make the trip to purchase... upon examination the guitar had a few scratches front and back... I suggested that the seller had miss-represented that it was in perfect condition which caused the meeting to immediately end. The guitar went back in the case and we went our separate ways.
The guitar was not a beater - but it was not perfect either...
This has happened to me before... I responded to an ad that said a Taylor 214 was in great condition and when I saw it in person it had several war-wounds and I declined... when I saw the ad again it said there were scratches on the guitar and not to respond if you were going to be picky...
So I guess I'm just picky... hope I have not besmirched your reputation in this dust-up.

Location: Ohio | No worries, he was just a little peaved and sent me an email to that effect. I'm trying to work out a deal with him now. He says hes willing to ship but wants me to mail him cash. There is no way that is going to happen. I told him paypal or nothing. |

Here's one.
The last one that I saw on eBay was just recently.
That one had an OP-30 preamp.
But this is the infamous blue seaweed T.
-edit-
Ooops! I found it HERE!

| And they say patience is a virtue...
Three years go by and an orange flamer is available used on Guitar Center...
And now there are three from New Hartford in the house.
