Location: Midland, MI | I'm not sure what a plectrum is, either, but I've been told you can make one out of wooden spoons and a clothspin (the springy kind, not the wooden soldier kind). Or, maybe I was told you couldn't. It's all kind of fuzzy.
(I can't believe I just said that) |

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | Speaking of the original topic, my first Ovation was the 1114-4 which I ordered new and purchased in 1978. Nice guitar, which of course, I parted with years ago in a fit of insanity after owning it for 10+ years. I was watching the auction, too. Looks like someone got a great guitar if it is what the seller represented it to be. The 1 7/8 nut width acoustics are very nice for finger picking. The non-Ovation replacement guitar for the Ovation is still with me and has a 1 7/8 nut and I string it with silk and steel strings, too. By the way, the title spamming thing is an issue and is grounds for eBay to ban a seller as it is also a violation of intellectual property. Go to eBay and read about the VeRo program that they have. I learned a lesson the hard way from eBay and have never done it again. I got "cute" with a title line once regarding an audiophile record I was selling and had the auction ended and received a warning from eBay naming the individual at the company whose brand name I mis-used and complained about my auction. I had listed a couple of other audiophile brands with the little brand, thinking that it would lead the way to my record. As it turned out, the record sold for peanuts anyway. I had not considered the implications, just wanted buyers to see my listing. So I did it once, and never again. In my regular business life since, I have been responsible for ending others' auctions who used the brands my company trades for that very reason. Sellers don't realize that the spamming thing does not really help the right prospects to find their stuff. I sell and buy a lot on eBay and if a seller does the title spamming thing, I avoid the item and don't bid, as I now consider it right in there with the sellers who have all that attitude in their descriptions and can't describe the item or properly state shipping charges, etc. And then there is that special buyer who after seeing an auction title line like that, who will think that all those guitars come from the same factory, so it's best to have that spamming crap stop. |
