| As promised I said I would add in more photos. I am going to listing all these guitars for sale here first, before they go off to E-bay. They are also available at my shop for sale. As it stands right now, I do not individual photos of each guitar but I do have many of the group shot. Below will be a list of the guitars and asking prices.
Paypal and Bank wire transfers will be accepted. PM for more details. Been in business for 34 years in the Dallas, TX area and have many references if needed. Long time ebay seller, but these guitars need to go into collectors hands rather than the average joes on ebay. I figured you all would like first shot at these.
Shipping please add $40 for the US. Overseas shipping prices will differ by location. I will try to answer questions as quick as possible and as best as I can. I will try to provide as much info as possible for serious buyers. PM me with any questions or to buy one of these beautiful guitars. I should also add these guitars are also for sale in my shop locally right now, so I will try to get back to you ASAP, and keep this thread up to date as quick as possible. All guitars come with an original case unless otherwise noted. Most all come with the original hang tags and paperwork. All Guitars are in great shape. I would say they are all mint.
Guitars are as follows:
1982 Collectors Series $900
1983 Collectors Series $600
1984 Collectors Series $800
1985 Collectors Series $700
1986 Collectors Series $900

| Being a business owner I get all types of people and this collection is one I cannot take credit for as far as collecting it. I just have the joy of selling it. So many killer guitars in this bunch. The Q 181 is to die for! Ovation should have made this a production model.

| I should add the Shipping on the Q-181 will cost more than $40 due to insurance values. Also the shipping on the double neck due to the flight case.

Yes they are displayed a few at a time. I do not have the space to display them all. Plus it keeps them from getting damaged. |

| As far as a pure player stand point goes. The Q is above the Double neck. As far as wow factor goes the Double neck just has it. A serious Ovation collector though would get the wow factor on the Q. |
