Location: Italia, Zianigo di Mirano (Venezia) | hello, it's been a while since I wrote here. So, can anyone tell me why the astronomical price of this ugly guy's Ovation (hideous with that 80's electric headstock) for sale? https://www.ebay.com/itm/175055765896?hash=item28c2230188:g:JOcAAOSw... |

As a famous pastor once said," Now that's Texas Pretty! And in Texas, just how Pretty is that? THAT'S PRETTY UGLY!"

Location: When?? | This is.. what.. the 7th time in the past few years that this nut kid and his Ebay antics have been a topic? Trying to impress this week's girlfriend (again) with the price. As for the headstock.. if it was a one-off collectible in a range of collectibles, then that must have been the pitch at the time.. but I don't recall having much desire to swing at it.
PS: Just for giggles, we should all take turns clicking it into our Ebay carts..and let it sit.. and sit.. and sit.

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA | Hello, Everyone,
Speaking of, "astronomical", prices, the aforementioned Ovation Book is now being sold on Amazon.ca in PAPERBACK for... would you believe...$424.88 USD, and/or $418.08 CDN? Pick your poison, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am very hesitant to check out the price on E-Bay.ca. That would probably kill me dead, too.

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Sent mine out years ago on a 2008 World Tour, last reported in Brazil, as I recall. Recipients added to the parcel, too. So, that book is priceless, right?

Location: Bavaria, Germany | got the guitar .... and that matching book.
Guitar is great - book simply overrated.
Would give it away for just a few Euros ....
Compile all that "Beal"-Posts and you have a real "Book" invaluable .... |

Regular searches can snag a reasonable one. Picked up a copy for $30 a few years ago on Ebay.
